I found answers for my own questions.

Here is code , add in AppDelegate if you want to change all cancel button.

[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                                                                                  [UIColor redColor],
                                                                                                  UITextAttributeTextColor,
                                                                                                  [UIColor whiteColor],
                                                                                                  UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
                                                                                                  [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, 1)],
                                                                                                  UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
                                                                                                  nil]
                                                                                        forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Swift:

let attributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.red]
    UIBarButtonItem.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UISearchBar.self]).setTitleTextAttributes(attributes, for: .normal)

Ios – UISearchBar cancel button color

I used some thing like this and worked with me:

[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn: [UISearchBar class], nil] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

it changed the cancel button color to black.

Update for iOS 9.0, the method appearanceWhenContainedIn is deprecated, use appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses instead:

[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses:@[[UISearchBar class]]] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

And in Swift 3:

UIBarButtonItem.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf:[UISearchBar.self]).tintColor = UIColor.black

Ios – Modifying UISearchBar Cancel button font text color and style

You can change Cancel button styling by changing the appearance of UIBarButtonItem when contained in UISearchBar.

For example,

[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                                      [UIColor blueColor], 
                                                      UITextAttributeTextColor, 
                                                      [UIColor darkGrayColor], 
                                                      UITextAttributeTextShadowColor, 
                                                      [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, -1)], 
                                                      UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
                                                      nil] 
                                            forState:UIControlStateNormal];
