if(indexPath.row == 0)
        {
            UIView *bg = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:cell.frame];
            bg.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:175.0/255.0 green:220.0/255.0 blue:186.0/255.0 alpha:1]; 
            cell.backgroundView = bg;
            [bg release];
        }

You should do the color change in the "willDisplayCell" delegate method and not at its creation in "cellForRowAtIndexPath". Otherwise it may not stick or may display bad when adding, for example, accessories to the cell.

In cellForRowAtIndexPath, check if the indexPath.row == 0, then set the custom background. Otherwise set the default background.

// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    }

    // Configure the cell...
    if (indexPath.row == 0) {
        //set custom background color
    } else {
        //set default background color
    }
    return cell;
}
