Answer 1

You should use the icon property. For example,

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: latlng,
    map: map,
    icon: 'http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/green-dot.png'
});

There are many colors available at google.com. Just replace green-dot with your color, like:
^{http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/green-dot.png
http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/blue-dot.png
http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/red-dot.png
http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/yellow-dot.png}
