I agree wit Angel Roh... you can use 3-d Rendering (Filters > Render> 3d-transform)to make the sphere... then add a face afterwards.
to change the colour of the ugly whiteness (no racism intended) you can either
a) select the whole ball using the 'magnetic lasso'.. then make a new layer.... then in the new layer with the area of the ball still selected, fill with a shade darker than the colour of your choice(in the new layer) then change the opacity of the 'new layer' lower so you can still see the shading from the layer below
b) go to image > adjustments > variations..... then change the colouring.... this method sometimes leaves the actual white areas really white tho....
gd luck!
