  I'm new to DataTables, so don't know if I'm doing it correctly or not but I had a similar problem where I wanted the background colour of the cell to change depending upon the result of a game, i.e. won, drawn or lost. This is what I came up with, and it works for me. Would have preferred to have passed a css class instead but couldn't work that one out! If anyone can, please let me know.
  
  The code:
  
  { "aTargets": [5], "fnCreatedCell": function (nTd, sData, oData, iRow, iCol) {
  if (sData == 'W') {
  $(nTd).css('background-color', '#DFF2BF').css('color', '#4F8A10').css('font-weight', 'bold');
  } else if (sData == 'D') {
  $(nTd).css('background-color', '#BDE5F8').css('font-weight', 'bold').css('color', '#009');
  } else {
  $(nTd).css('font-weight', 'bold').css('background-color', '#FFBABA').css('color', '#D8000C');
  }
  } }
