Use this method:

- (BOOL)writeToFile:(NSString *)path atomically:(BOOL)flag

The docs explain it here: http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSDictionary_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSDictionary/writeToFile:atomically:

You just create the dictionary, then save it to the file using that method.

Yes. To save a property list:

NSString * error;
NSData * data = [NSPropertyListSerialization dataFromPropertyList:yourPlist format:NSPropertyListXMLFormat_v1_0 errorDescription:&error];
[data writeToFile:pathToYourFile atomically:YES];

yourPlist must be a kind of NSData, NSString, NSNumber, NSDate, NSArray, or NSDictionary object.

To read your property list.

NSString * error;
NSData * data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:pathToYourFile];
yourPlist = [NSPropertyListSerialization propertyListFromData:data mutabilityOption:NSPropertyListImmutable format:NSPropertyListXMLFormat_v1_0 errorDescription:&error];
