If the apps are designed for just the iPhone/iPod Touch only and aren't 'universal' apps (indicated by a '+' against their description in the App Store), then they are only designed for the iPhone's sized screen - so you can either run them in that sized portion of the iPad's screen, or press the '2x' button on the screen (which I assume that you've done) which basically just doubles each pixel in both directions so will appear pixelated (as you've noticed). So no there is nothing you can do, that is how those apps work/appear on the iPad. Universal apps, with the '+' against their descriptions, have processing within to detect what device they are on and so should tailor their display accordingly to the device's screen size.
If the app has an iPad specific version in the store then you can buy that (you can't download it for free) and that should make better use of the iPad's screen.
