Exemple to change the header line :

(defun my-tramp-header-line-function ()
  (when (string-match "^/su\\(do\\)?:" default-directory)
    (setq header-line-format
          (format-mode-line "----- THIS BUFFER IS VISITED WITH ROOT PRIVILEGES 
-----"
                            'font-lock-warning-face))))

(add-hook 'find-file-hooks 'my-tramp-header-line-function)
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'my-tramp-header-line-function)
