Discussion of [UITableView UITableViewRowAnimationNone]
You specify one of these constants as a parameter of the insertRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation:, insertSections:withRowAnimation:, deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation:,deleteSections:withRowAnimation:, reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation:, and reloadSections:withRowAnimation: methods.

UITableView UITableViewRowAnimationNone example.

NSIndexPath* rowToReload = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:3 inSection:0];
NSArray* rowsToReload = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:rowToReload, nil];
[UITableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:rowsToReload withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];

Example of [UITableView UITableViewRowAnimationNone].

Once you have the indexPath of your cell, you can do something like:

[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:indexPathOfYourCell, nil] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
[self.tableView endUpdates];

In Xcode 4.6 and higher:

[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPathOfYourCell] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
[self.tableView endUpdates];
You can set whatever your like as animation effect, of course.

UITableView UITableViewRowAnimationNone example.

- (void)reloadRow0Section0 {
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
    NSArray *indexPaths = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:indexPath, nil];
    [self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
    [indexPaths release];
}
