Override the following in your UITableViewCell subclass:

- (void)willTransitionToState:(UITableViewCellStateMask)state
{
    [super willTransitionToState:state];
    if(state == UITableViewCellStateShowingEditControlMask)
    {
        for (UIView *v in self.subviews) {
            if ([NSStringFromClass([v class]) isEqualToString:@"UITableViewCellEditControl"]) {
                UIImageView *customButton = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:v.bounds];
                [customButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"delete.png"]];
                [v addSubview:customButton];
                [v bringSubviewToFront:customButton];
            }
        }
    }
}

You can play with the subviews and the states to achieve your preferred result.

this method not called :( – Andrey Evstratenko Jul 08 '16 at 00:31
@AndreyEvstratenko, I have tried this code before submitting. Please make sure you have a `UITableViewCell` subclass and this method in it and your table returns cells of that type in cellForRowAtIndexPath – jackal Jul 08 '16 at 00:34
oooooh... sorry! i found a bug!) – Andrey Evstratenko Jul 08 '16 at 00:38
This method gets called when the table view changes its state, e.g. from or to **editing** state. Make sure you call something like `[tableView setEditing:YES]` – jackal Jul 08 '16 at 00:38
