You can change the looks by changing cursor type...
set(gcf, 'pointer', 'crosshair');
And then you can change it back by:
set(gcf, 'pointer', 'arrow');
There is also other options than crosshair, but you can probably look that up yourself.

You could use 'ButtonDownFcn' instead of 'ginput'. It's a bit more work, but makes it more customizable.

Pointers are handled by the operating system, and are one-bit (black and white) with a 1 bit mask (transparent or not). It is not possible to change the pointer color.
