To pick up on the answer by Gurpreet Singh. To keep the current status of an already existing button re-use the target and action.

SEL selector = self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.action;
id target = self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.target;
UIBarButtonItem *_btn=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"icon_close.png"]
                                                      style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                     target:target
                                                     action:selector];

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = _btn;
