Your assignment in the SQL statement is the wrong way around in this
case. Your SQL statement should instead contain:
task_icaodesc = '$_POST[icaodesc]'
that assigns the value of the form variable icaodesc to the column
task_icaodesc in the database. BTW, hopefully you are validating the
value of your form variables before you update your database? - if not
you are wide open for all sorts of problems.

^^^^^^ typo? Its not a good idea for the form field name to
contain a $ sign. The field must be called icaodesc, if you are
going to refer to it in your script as $_POST[icaodesc]
