I bought a Rosewell 17" LCD monitor from newegg. I had one dead pixel. Can i still fix the dead pixel?

Usually they require like 5 or more dead pixels for a replacement. You can try and convince the manufacturer to replace it though.

Depends on the dealer and manufacturer. Newegg policy is 8 or more pixels, which isn't good. Like soccerchamp said you can check with the manufacturer.

I was asking if it can be manually done by yourself.

I highly doubt you would be able to fix it yourself! Best bet is to check with Manuf. as stated above...

They can't be fixed. Consider the 1280x1024 grid, each location using three transistors to control illumination. (~4mil). They're laid down as part of the manufacturing process and not a component you can desolder and replace. There are probably others you haven't noticed. (off color vs completely off) Very few LCDs have zero defects. Check manufacturer policy and you'll find most allow 5 or more bad pixels (ISO 13406-2, class II) before a screen is considered defective. Zero defect screens (class I) are much more expensive.
