I have UIImage and I want to scale it without setting it into UIImageView. How I can do that ?

If what you wanted was to change the size of your UIImage, I answered this here: set size of an image programatically
Simply do this:
// Given a UIImage image and a CGSize newSize:
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, NO, 0.0);
[image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, newSize.width, newSize.height)];
UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
// Your scaled image is now in newImage

As @rckoenes mentioned, UIImage is simply an image object, it does not handle display, which is precisely what UIImageView is for.
For pinch zooming an image, the easiest way is to add a UIImageView as a subview to a UIScrollView.
