From UISwitch Reference: The UISwitch class is not customizable.

Use a UISegmentedControl instead with 2 segments and [segControl setMomentary:NO], then use the - (void)setTitle:(NSString *)title forSegmentAtIndex:(NSUInteger)segment method to set the title.

Customizing the switch itself is I think impossible, and if possible only using private APIs, and could cause a lot of problems depending on the firmware. An App Store safe way is using a UISlider.
