GetComponent searches on the gameobject the script it is mentioned on. so your script on the button has the GetComponent looks for the button to find onjectScript. that is not what you want. you should first find the gameobject who the first script is on, with GameObject.Find and after call GetComponent on it.

 GameObject.Find("yourObjectsNameWithTheFirstScriptOn").GetComponent.<objectScript>().sprajt = sprajtTwo;

The code is untested.
