Colors have different wavelengths that allows one's eyes to differeniate them. The colors seen on the ball are the colors the ball reflects. The ball absorbs all the other colors. Note that the color white is what your eyes see when all colors of the visible spectrum are being reflected at the same time.

How does light become colors?

When you say 'Light' you probably mean, 'White light'. White light, or just plain old light, say, from the Sun, is composed of light of all the different visible colors. Light can be separated out into all the colors that are in it by using a prism or by reflecting the light off of tiny water droplets in the sky (creating a rainbow). The weirdest way to split light into its colors that I have ever seen is caused by light bouncing back from the tiny glass balls that are spread on wet traffic-stripe paint. It is really strange to see "rainbows" on the street!

Does the colour of incoming light affect the pattern of the prism?

Sure. The prism just spreads out the wavelengths that enter it. No color can come out of the prism that didn't go into the prism. When white light goes in, you see all colors come out, because white light is a mix of all colors. But if the light that entered the prism was a mix of only red and blue, then all you'd see come out would be a red stripe and a blue stripe, with no light in between them.
