You can change the colour of the icon something like this.

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {  
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);

    MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.my_item_id);

    if (menuItem != null) {
        tintMenuIcon(this, menuItem, android.R.color.my_color);
    }

    return true;
}

public void tintMenuIcon(Context context, MenuItem item, @ColorRes int color) {  
    Drawable normalDrawable = item.getIcon();
    Drawable wrapDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(normalDrawable);
    DrawableCompat.setTint(wrapDrawable, context.getResources().getColor(color));

    item.setIcon(wrapDrawable);
}

And to chage the title you can do

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
if(actionBar != null){
    actionBar.setTitle("My Title");
}

but don't forget to set the action bar before calling getSupportActionBar().

It's called overflow button you can change it's icon using simple styles.

<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/OverFlow</item>
</style>

<style name="OverFlow" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow">
    <item name="android:src">@drawable/new_icon</item>
</style>

or in Java code

toolbar.setOverflowIcon(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.new_icon));
