UITextField *txtField=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(45, 0, cell.frame.size.width, cell.frame.size.height)];
    txtField.autoresizingMask=UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
    txtField.autoresizesSubviews=YES;
    [txtField setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect];
    [txtField setPlaceholder:@"Type Data Here"];

    if (cell == nil)
    {
        cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
    }
    [cell addSubview:txtField];

you need to add UITextField to content view Corresponding cell, where you want the Text field. You select the cell you want by looking in to the cells indexpath.section and indexpath.row in cellForRowAtIndexPath:

Example: 

if(indexPath.section == CELL_SECTION) {
    if(indexpath.row == CELL_ROW_INDEX) {
      UITextField *txtField=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 5, 320, 39)];
      txtField.autoresizingMask=UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
      txtField.autoresizesSubviews=YES;
      txtField.layer.cornerRadius=10.0;
      [txtField setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect];
      [txtField setPlaceholder:@"Type Data Here"];
      [cell.contentView addSubView:textField];
   }
}

First thing first

  1. you need to make a subClass of UITableViewCell.

  2. Ofcoures that class will have a TextField(TF) as a property to access that TF

  3. set tag for that TF while initialising it.

  4. in the delegate method tableView:celForRowAtIndexPath: get that TF by tag use method tf = [cell viewWithTag:YOUR_TAG];

  5. Now you can do what ever you want.

  6. Now suppose you want the value outside this method then there are two way around it

    a. make a global variable and store value in it

    b. First find the cell by method of tableView by cellforRowAtIndexPath and repeate the step 4 and 5

You need a custom UITableViewCell with a UITextfield in it. You can probably set a tag for the textField for each cell to identify them. You can also implement the UITextFieldDelegate if you want some validation on text or something. You can then get the value for the textfield based on the tag.
