You have to use a NSAttributedString and assign it to the UITextField, this is an example:

UIFont *boldFont = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:fontSize];
UIFont *regularFont = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:fontSize];

NSMutableAttributedString *myAttributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:yourString];
[myAttributedString addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName
                      value:boldFont
                      range:NSMakeRange(0, 2)];
[myAttributedString addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName
                      value:regularFont
                      range:NSMakeRange(3, 5)];
[self.description setAttributedText:myAttributedString];

For your case, you can use a webView and load it with your string:

[webView loadHTMLString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><body style=\"background-color: transparent;\">This is <b><i>Test</b></i> dummy text ..</body></html>"] baseURL:nil];

You can use an UITextView using NSAttributedString (have a look to the apple doc)

And you have an explanation of how to use it here.

You can find the range of your word and change the font or the color or whatever using :

- (IBAction)colorWord:(id)sender {
    NSMutableAttributedString *string = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithString:self.text.text];

    NSArray *words = [self.text.text componentsSeparatedByString:@" "];

    for (NSString *word in words) 
    {        
        if ([word hasPrefix:@"@"]) 
        {
            NSRange range=[self.text.text rangeOfString:word];
            [string addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor redColor] range:range];           
        }
    }
    [self.text setAttributedText:string];
}
