It's a common myth, but no, the modern image developed somewhere around the end of the 1800s, and coke started using him in the 1930's. No idea when the red came in, but it was definitely before the coke marketing campaign, as there's cartoons from the 1910's or so that show the modern fat jolly red dude.
