With iOS 8 apple introduced custom keyboard extension.

A custom keyboard replaces the system keyboard for users who want capabilities such as a novel text input method or the ability to enter text in a language not otherwise supported in iOS. The essential function of a custom keyboard is simple: Respond to taps, gestures, or other input events and provide text, in the form of an unattributed NSString object, at the text insertion point of the current text input object.

And here's some useful tutorials about how to create custom keyboard :

The short answer is no you can't change the look and feel of the system keyboard. Even if you did many people don't even use the default keyboards.
