Have a look at Style and Framed.
Framed[Style[Table[{x, Sqrt[x], x^3}, {x, 0, 100}],
Background -> LightBrown]]
For a Table, you might want to display as a Grid, like so.
Grid[Table[{x, Sqrt[x], x^3}, {x, 0, 100}], Frame -> All]
Here it is rather massively styled:
Grid[Table[
Map[Style[#, 16, Bold, Red] &, {x, Sqrt[x], x^3}], {x, 0, 100}],
Frame -> All, FrameStyle -> Thick,
Background -> {None, {{LightBlue, LightOrange}}, 1 -> Yellow}]
