Yes, one can do this. As the user's guide <https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html> 
notes: 

> produce the custom docx reference file with the terminal command `pandoc 
-o custom-reference.docx --print-default-data-file reference.docx`. Then 
open custom-reference.docx in Word, modify the styles as you wish, and save 
the file. 

To achieve your desired change, in Word go to Format > Style... , and then 
under the Styles list in the window that pops up scroll down to select 
`Table`. Then click `Modify...` From there you can format aspects of the 
custom-reference docx's table, choosing either to apply the formatting to 
the whole table or to just a part of it. You can use this method to make 
just your header rows have green backgrounds. (I assume that whatever 
formatting you choose here, it will be applied to all tables in your 
document and that there's no way to have different formatting for different 
tables.)

When you're ready to convert your source document to docx with pandoc, add 
`--reference-doc=` this to your terminal command, with the path to your 
updated custom-reference docx following the `=`.
