To add to Marc's absolutely correct answer - you'll find a lot of browsers will hang onto the old favicon. They heavily cache these as they don't expect them to change :)
You dont have access to this file in the Umbraco CMS. You need to locate the file at the root level of the physical file system of your website and replace that file.
Another possible solution is to override this file by adding a meta tag to your webpages, normally the master page for your page templates.
Replace the ### with the relative file path of the image or icon you want to use. This could be located in the media section of Umbraco.
You simply need to put your favicon into your website directory - at the same level you find the web.config file. Usually there isn't one there by default - for whatever reason you have the Umbraco one there.
If you have a cheap shared host this might be via ftp or by browsing the directory via remote desktop.
It's not got much to do with Umbraco. Marc has given you some additional instructions if you want to override the default way that browsers work but
simply - every browser will always just ask for www.domain.com/favicon.ico.
