Answer 1

You can get visible cell in UITableView using following method:

-(UITableViewCell *)cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

Return Value: An object representing a cell of the table or nil if the cell is not visible or indexPath is out of range.

So in your didSelectRow method you will have something like (you may need to set cell's selectionStyle to UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone to make your changes display properly):

- tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    UITableViewCell* cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    if (cell != nil){
        cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
    }
}

Or you can subclass UITableViewCell, implement - (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated method and change cell properties there.
