Read this thread: http://www.tasharen.com/?topic=creating-a-ui-sprite-on-the-fly

ArenMook was nice enough to also provide a download of the sample project so you can see how it works (making a healthbar float over the characters heads)

You can download the sample project here:

That's a math question, not a UI question :P

You'll need to calculate the bounds of the object and using that -- calculate the corners in a way that makes them always face the camera. It just involves a lot of math.
