when you say

[tableView reloadData];

that time your : -

(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;

method will be called for three times as you have 3 cell in your row and this will again override your firstCell.detailTextLabel.text with the original text that you must be providing through your array...

so if you are using array.. then you need to change the object in that array for the required index.

just implement this:

[array replaceObjectAtIndex:0 withObject:@"Change"];

[tableViewCategory reloadData];

hope so this will work for you...

instead of 

UITableViewCell *firstCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:0];

use 

UITableViewCell *firstCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0]];

Try this:

UITableViewCell *firstCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0]];

firstCell.detailTextLabel.text = @"ABC";

no need to call reloadData.
