You can do it the following way in one of the view controller methods:
UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(...)]; // Create UILabel
myLabel.tag = someTag; // set label's tag to access this label in future via [view viewWithTag:someTag];
... // set label's properties like text, background and text color, font size etc (e.g. myLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor];)
[view addSubView:myLabel]; // add label to your view
[myLabel release]; // view owns the label now so we can release it

@Ante, better create separate question for that. Or search SO - there's a number of similar questions already (e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1378765/how-do-i-create-a-basic-uibutton-programmatically) – Vladimir Sep 29 '10 at 07:34
