I've been wanting to change my skin in that version for a long time, and I never figured out how...
I'm not sure you still can.
Way back then, you had to actually go into the files on your computer and replace a file.
Nowadays all the skins are loaded through Minecraft.net, and that skin file doesn't exist anymore.
You actually can still do this; the default skin is located inside of the Minecraft jar file (else, how would it show anything if you are not online or the skin server was down?) and can be changed with a resource (or texture) pack; I even replaced the default skin myself (by replacing the one inside the jar since I modded it anyway; it is preferred and much simpler to use a resource/texture pack though) so I'd always have it even if the servers were down (which are now down for good for any version older than 1.7.10, and even before then they did not work on versions older than 1.3).
TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
