Thanks Doug! That works perfect for now. Here is the updated code (after downloading uibutton), if someone is interested:

% Intialize a figure
hf = figure('Name','GUI');

% Define a string for button
string = {'ABC DEF',...
'GHI JKL'};

% Define a uicontrol button
Btn_temp = uibutton(...
'Parent',hf,...
'Units','normalized',...
'Position',[0.7,.15,.2,.1],...
'Style','pushbutton',...
'String',string);

Simply use HTML formatting:
set(Btn_temp, 'String', '<html>ABC DEF<br>GHI JKL');
