Answer 1

If you have subclassed a UITableViewCell, then you can customise the various elements of the cell by overriding the following:

- (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted animated:(BOOL)animated {
    if(highlighted) {
        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    } else {
        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    }

    [super setHighlighted:highlighted animated:animated];
}

EDIT for iOS7: as Sasho stated, you also need

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone
