gridview changing style of edit button

I want to change the style of the edit button that the gridview supplies. I can not figure out how to do that.

you should examine the html generated, and find the edit button.
Then you can write a css directly changing the style of the button.

This is what is generated. not sure how I can change it.

<td>
<a href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ctl00$topbody$GridView1','Edit$0')">Edit</a>
</td>

This is the generated source. I put the button after the edit in the format that I would like the edit button to be.
