use normal UIPickerView, instead of UIDatePickerView. You can create sections in UIPickerView You will have to implement the datasource and the delegate.

once you press a button, set an array pointer to the appropriate array.

than call [thePicker reloadAllComponents];

-(IBAction) usButtonPressed:(id)sender{
           self.inputArray = self.usArray;
            [self.thePicker reloadAllComponents];
        }

       -(IBAction) mexicoButtonPressed:(id)sender{
          self.inputArray = self.mexicoArray;
           [self.thePicker reloadAllComponents];
         }

the datasource methods:

- (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView
{
    return 1;
}


- (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
    return [self.inputArray count];
}

the delegate methods:

- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
    return [self.inputArray objectAtIndex:row];
}

You could try something like this:

   NSString * str = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@"%@",[yourDateArray objectAtIndex:0]];

   yourDatePicker.date = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] dateFromString:str];

Hope this helps.
