How can I make image brighter (more light as flash effect) using Core Graphics

Have a look at my answer to this question. That question was about making an image darker, but you could use exactly the same code and make the image lighter by overlaying a partially transparent white color:

//draw a 50% white overlay
CGContextSetGrayFillColor(cx, 1.0, 0.5);
CGContextFillRect(cx, imageRect);
