if you want to set his status thought your FB app without showing a dialog you could do it like this 

NSString *message = @"some text";
NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:message, message,nil];                          
[fb requestWithGraphPath:@"me/feed" andParams:params andHttpMethod:@"POST" andDelegate:self]; //fb here is the FaceBook instance.

and for sure you will do that after the user login and authorized the permissions .

To Authorize the permissions 

if (![fb isSessionValid]) {
    NSArray *permissions = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"user_likes", @"read_stream", nil];
    [fb authorize:permissions];
    [permissions release];
}

If you want to publish content to User's Feed you not required to authorize user if you use Feed Dialog for any other ways you required to authorize user prior to content publishing.

For web applications/sites (which isn't the case) there is also way to leverage automatic publishing of content user liked using Like Button social plugin by providing correct OpenGraph meta tags.

You really need to read documentation for iOS SDK, especially Dialogs and Authentication and Getting Started Guide.
