You can't hide them. But starting in iOS 7.1 you can disable them:

// Disable previous track button
[MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter].previousTrackCommand.enabled = NO;
// Disable next track button
[MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter].nextTrackCommand.enabled = NO;

For the playback duration, just don't set anything for MPMediaItemPropertyPlaybackDuration in your [[MPNowPlayingInfoCenter defaultCenter] setNowPlayingInfo:]

On top of that, you can show custom info (and even an artwork) on the now playing screen: 

NSMutableDictionary *songInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[songInfo setObject:someTitle forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyTitle];
[songInfo setObject:someArtist forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyArtist];
[songInfo setObject:someAlbum forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyAlbumTitle];

MPMediaItemArtwork *albumArt;
if (song.artwork){
    albumArt = [[MPMediaItemArtwork alloc] initWithImage: someArtwork];
}
else {
    albumArt = [[MPMediaItemArtwork alloc] init]; // make sure to remove the artwork if none is found for the current track
}
[songInfo setObject:albumArt forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];
[[MPNowPlayingInfoCenter defaultCenter] setNowPlayingInfo:songInfo];
