Answer 1

Use a combination of span tags and CSS classes. First create the CSS classes in your aspx code:

then replace all occurences of Special to Special, Perishable to Perishable, and Danger to Danger:

protected void gvContents_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        e.Row.Cells[3].Text = e.Row.Cells[3].Text.Replace("Special", "Special")
                              .Replace("Perishable", "Perishable")
                              .Replace("Danger", "Danger");
    }
}
