%cahnge background color
app.PushButton.BackgroundColor = 'red';
end
%continue to callback function

As long as your function has 'app' as a varargin you should be able to access your button handle.
For exemple if you want to know the coor of the button through a function:
colorbutton=ColorButtonPushed(app).
function result=ColorButtonPushed(app)
result= app.PushButton.BackgroundColor
end
In general, "app" should always be an input of your funcitons in app designer
