Is it possible to change between two fontawesome icons on hover?

You could toggle which one’s shown on hover:

_HTML:

<a href="#" class="lock">
    <i class="icon-unlock"></i>
    <i class="icon-lock"></i>
</a>

_CSS:

.lock:hover .icon-unlock,
.lock .icon-lock {
    display: none;
}
.lock:hover .icon-lock {
    display: inline;
}

Or, you could change the content of the icon-unlock class:

.lock:hover .icon-unlock:before {
    content: "\f023";
}
