how to save data into plist in ios after setting its dynamic value?

<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
            <key>InfoValue</key>
            <string>false</string>
            <key>AudioValue</key>
            <string>true</string>
            <key>VideoValue</key>
            <string>true</string>
            <key>DescValue</key>
            <string>true</string>
            <key>LinkValue</key>
            <string>true</string>
   </dict>
</plist>

This is plist file and I want to change InfoValue dyanamically. In my code I m using like

settingsPath=[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"SettingsValue" ofType:@"plist"];
settingsItem = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:settingsPath];

[settingsItem setObject:@"false" forKey:@"InfoValue"];

and after this 

[settingsItem writeToFile:settingsPath atomically:YES];

but it is not saving data into plist file. Instead of that I am getting following error:

-[NSConcreteValue getFileSystemRepresentation:maxLength:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x8fad490

You cannot modify a file inside the bundle. It is read only. Try to save the plist in the DocumentDirectory 

    NSString *directoryPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,  NSUserDomainMask, YES)objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *filePath = [directoryPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"SettingsValue.plist"];

   // Read from document directory
    settingsItem = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath]; 

    // update the dictionary
    [settingsItem setObject:@"false" forKey:@"InfoValue"];

   // write back to file  
    [settingsItem writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES];
