There is no substitute for sugar when making butter-cream frosting. However if you use melted chocolate your frosting will still work, it'll just be a little different.
Butter-cream frosting cannot be made without sugar. Melted chocolate will not produce a butter-cream frosting, but will produce chocolate spread over a cake.

If you are planning on WHIPPING the cream, say to make whipping cream for a dessert, there really isn't a substitute you could make at home. There are of course commercial substitutes that are made with oil, but you're far better off using the real thing. You also shouldn't substitute for cream when baking, because the ratios in baking for flour, fats, proteins, leavening agents and the like are temperamental, and its best not to tamper with them unless you know what you are doing. If you have a cooking recipe that calls for heavy cream, however, such as for a cream soup, or adding to a sauce, you can substitute either milk, half and half or light cream, and just add a few tablespoons of butter. I believe the ratio is three tablespoons of butter to each cup of milk to approximate heavy cream, if you are using light cream, you could probably reduce the butter to two tablespoons per cup.
