Answer 1

you have take a red color image for your button and then you can set it when user clicks

[yourButtonName setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"yourRedButton.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

Answer 2

Make the button type as custom.

Eg

button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

All the best.
