Answer 1

 UIBarButtonItem *leftBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(popToBack)];      //create the left bar button

 self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftBarButton;   //assign into navigation item

 self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem.tintColor=[UIColor colorWithRed:125.0/255.0 green:90.0/255.0 blue:146.0/255.0 alpha:1];   //set the tint color

 [leftBarButton setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: [UIColor purpleColor],  UITextAttributeTextColor,nil] forState:UIControlStateNormal];    //text color


-(void)popToBack
{
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
 }

in another choice

UIButton *leftbutton =  [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[leftbutton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[leftbutton addTarget:target action:@selector(buttonAction)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[leftbutton setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 53, 31)];
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(3, 5, 50, 20)];
[label setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial-BoldMT" size:13]];
[label setText:title];
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
[label setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[label setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[leftbutton addSubview:label];
UIBarButtonItem *barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView: leftbutton];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barButton;

-(void) buttonAction
{
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
 }
