You can use the methods which are described in the iOS developer libary:

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/ipad/#documentation/uikit/reference/UISegmentedControl_Class/Reference/UISegmentedControl.html

Scroll down to the "Customizing Appearance" section. There are methods to set background images for several button states, button divider images, etc.

These methods are only available in iOS5 and later.

@property tintColor  
– backgroundImageForState:barMetrics:
– setBackgroundImage:forState:barMetrics:
– contentPositionAdjustmentForSegmentType:barMetrics:
– setContentPositionAdjustment:forSegmentType:barMetrics:
– dividerImageForLeftSegmentState:rightSegmentState:barMetrics:
– setDividerImage:forLeftSegmentState:rightSegmentState:barMetrics:
– titleTextAttributesForState:
– setTitleTextAttributes:forState:
