Here is a Swift solution:

First, change UITableViewController to UIViewController and add a tableView field. Then, implement your viewDidLoad method as follows:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    tableView.delegate = self
    tableView.dataSource = self
    tableView.frame = view.frame
    view.addSubview(tableView)

    let topBar = UIView(frame: UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarFrame)
    topBar.backgroundColor = myDesiredColor
    view.addSubview(topBar)
}
