Answer 1

You could modify the HeaderTemplate of the GridViewColumn

<GridViewColumn ...>
    <GridViewColumn.HeaderTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" Margin="5,0,5,0"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </GridViewColumn.HeaderTemplate>
    <GridViewColumnHeader Content="Some Header" Background="Red" />
</GridViewColumn>
