To get this level of customisation, you're going to need to start from scratch and write your own control, there's no two ways about it.

Apple don't provide any way to customise the UI of a tab bar, and if you were to modify Apple's tab bar beyond the expected user experience it currently provides, you'd be in violation of the Human Interface Guidelines, which may cause Apple to take issue and reject your app.
