Use this code: 

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,36,30);
[button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"backgroundImage.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[button addTarget:self.navigationController action:@selector(popViewControllerAnimated:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *barButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:barButtonItem];

Or use this library. Very easy and good looking result.

You cannot change the default back button since it will not let you override it. Instead you have to use the leftBarButtonItem to create a custom "back" button.

More information here: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UINavigationController_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006934-CH3-SW25

Some prior code to reference: UINavigation controller button like backButton

Just call popViewControllerAnimated on the navigation controller and it will go back.
