Answer 1

Hey, you set the delegate method for the table widget. in the paint event of the delegate you handle the color changing technique.. have a look at this example,here they have done custom selection color. same way you handle the item cell painting

Answer 2

Use

QTableWidgetItem QTableWidget.item(row, column)

and

QTableWidgetItem setData(role, data)

with

Qt.BackgroundRole

as follows:

table.item(0, 0).setData(Qt.BackgroundRole, color).

And read about the Roles mechanism used in Qt Model/View.
