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)

If you only want to set the text color of the button, you only need one line:

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