I sure hope you have a good reason for that, like changing it to RED to
GREEN as a status info (even then, not sure if it's ok to hardcode
that).
that said, you can set background modify_bg / modify_base or on the cell
renderer by referring to a cell in the tree store for the background
info.

Don't. Modify the theme. Edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0
(or load an external theme file for the app from the user's homedir -
somewhere he can modify things)

The background color of the even rows or the odd rows or where there are
no rows or the selected row or the marked row or the selected and marked
row?

Edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0
I'd say it is a style property of the GtkTreeView or whatever Cell
Renderer you use.
The basic rule of thumb is: Honor the theme the user has chosen and
match those settings as close as possible.
As I said, there are exception, like for highlighting problematic rows
or such, but usually honor the rule.
