yourLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:1.0 green:1.0 blue:1.0 alpha:0.4];

Obviously you can change the RGB colors to what you want.

Select your label in Interface Builder. In the Attributes Inspector, find "Background" under the "View" section. Click on the color rectangle next to the color name. Opacity is one of the properties you can set in the window that pops up. Set that to 40%.
