cover them very tightly in saran wrap. ice away.
when ready to change...peel off wrap and the icing.
On Taylor Foam's site in the description they say they stock square dummies, but you can't order them apparently.... 
I just recieved my square dummies. HHHmmmm Spotty - did you go look? Am I right or am I losing it? (don't answer that 
)
Also - how do you cover square dummies with fondant without the corners ripping holes in it?

Nope didn't look you are probably right. I just realised I went through ebay to get to them and the company. Duh is me 
As for covering square dummies in fondant ........I have the hardest time. It ALWAYS rips!!! I have to moisten the edges to mend it back together! AARRRGGGGGG 
Hopefully someone will see this and give a tip or two.....or three
Heck I've never even covered a square REGULAR cake in fondant. I've read tons of helpful suggestions and I just can't imagine where all that extra fondant goes. I have a wedding cake in October that is going to be a 12" square and a 6" square with a 10" round in the middle, covered in fondant and I was thinking about getting a dummy to practice on but if it's going to rip, I think I'll just use a shoe box or inverted rubbermaid container or something, to practice on...those corners aren't as harsh.
