How do I change the file upload browse button width and styles such as background colors etc? I have already reviewed the answers provided alternative using jquery controls or other html forms techniques. I just need to do change in the file upload server side control in aspx page.

Thanks

Just apply the style as per need. Define a css class and set the control property CssClass.

Something similar to:
Styling an input type="file"[^]
Style File upload control in ASP / HTML[^]

If you see page 'ViewSource', you will find that fileupload controls are input tags internally.

Tried: <asp:FileUpload ID="testFileUpload" runat="server" CssClass="myStyle" />
Not sure what is troubling you. If you are asking on how to style it at runtime...
testFileUpload.CssClass = "myStyle";
