It is possible, just not particularly obvious.  What you need to do is 
call gtk_tree_view_column_set_widget, passing in your own label that is 
set to display the column title.  Once the label is shown and realized, 
call gtk_widget_get_parent three times, which should move up through a 
GtkAlignment and a GtkHBox to give you a GtkButton.  This button is the 
column header.  Calling gtk_widget_modify_bg on it will change the 
background colour of the column header.
