Answer 1

Maybe you don't wan't every pushed viewController from a viewController have a Cancel button than just set a leftBarButtonItem in the display viewController with a custom title

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"back", @"") style:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:@selector(popViewController)] autorelease];

- (void)popViewController {
    [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
