Read the fine manual:

,----[ (info "(emacs)Font Lock") ]
|    Font Lock highlighting patterns already exist for many modes, but you
| may want to fontify additional patterns.  You can use the function
| `font-lock-add-keywords', to add your own highlighting patterns for a
| particular mode.  For example, to highlight `FIXME:' words in C
| comments, use this:
| 
|      (font-lock-add-keywords
|       'c-mode
|       '(("\\<\\(FIXME\\):" 1 font-lock-warning-face t)))
| 
|    To remove keywords from the font-lock highlighting patterns, use the
| function `font-lock-remove-keywords'.
