try this for the labels

labels={'A'; 'B'; 'C' };
barh(x)
set(gca,'yticklabel',labels)

do you have any idea about how to change these colors?

How about the same idea from Ameer's answer here?

x =[208,237,248];
hold on
for i=1:numel(x)
    barh(i, x(i))
end
axis square
yticks(1:numel(x))
yticklabels({'A'; 'B'; 'C'})

how to change the colors?

You can set the FaceColor property to any rgb value:

x =[208,237,248];
colors = [ 1 0 0 ;  % red
           0 1 0 ;  % blue
           0 0 1 ]; % green
hold on
for i=1:numel(x)
    barh(i, x(i), 'FaceColor', colors(i,:))
end
axis square
yticks(1:numel(x))
yticklabels({'A'; 'B'; 'C'})

Or, honestly this is simpler:

x =[208,237,248];
colors = [ 1 0 0 ;  % red
           0 1 0 ;  % blue
           0 0 1 ]; % green
barh(x, 'FaceColor', 'flat', 'CData', colors);
axis square
yticklabels({'A'; 'B'; 'C'})
