Answer 1

You can use: setBackgroundImage:forState

[myButton setBackgroundImage:genericImage forStates:UIControlStateNormal];
[myButton setBackgroundImage:buttonBackgroundPressed  
                   forStates:UIControlStateHighlighted];

Answer 2

One way you can do it, the easier way, is within Interface Builder.

• Select the button that you want to adjust the state colors for
• Hit CMD+1, selects the first tab called "Button Attributes"
• You can set the different attributes for the different states by clicking on the Drop Down List which currently says "Default State Configuration"
