You'd want to create an attachment object, and set its ParentId to the Id of the custom object row, no need for apex, this is easily done through the regular enterprise/partner APIs, something like

 

 

Attachment a = new Attachment();
a.setParentId("A0A....");
a.setContentType("application/pdf");
a.setBody(loadFileAsBytes());
a.setName("my attachment");
SaveResult [] sr = binding.create(new SObject [] {a});
