This may be a crop of a larger image - and it's a hot pixel. It will show up in dark areas like this, and sometimes they're blue or green too. The only way to fix it is to send the camera in. I'm not sure what exactly they do, but they won't change the sensor or anything - I think they just tell the processor to "ignore" that pixel or something (read a description of it once)...

The other option is the clone tool in Photoshop, which is what I use. Both of my cameras do it from time to time, but it's rarely much of a problem.
