If you are setting it from code use 

var myString = "string"
myString = myString.uppercaseString
button.setTitle(myString, forState: .Selected)

There is a built in function for that

Button.capitalizedString

So you can use it in this way in swift

Let me assume that abtn is your IBOutlet of UIButton and Button is titlelabel of UIButton.

 abtn.setTitle(abtn.titleLabel!.text.uppercaseString, forState: .Selected)

as said by kirsteins

To capitalize only the first letter you can use:

nameOfString.replaceRange(nameOfString.startIndex...nameOfString.startIndex, with: String(nameOfString[nameOfString.startIndex]).capitalizedString)

You can set Title for Selected State of UIButton from Attribute Inspector. Please find below image :

enter image description here

You can also set it programatically.

Objective-C

[btn setTitle:btn.titleLabel.text.uppercaseString forState:UIControlStateSelected];

Swift

 btn.setTitle(btn.titleLabel!.text.uppercaseString, forState: .Selected)
