return 1;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"Cell";

Answer 1

Try use this:
[yourSubview setTag:101];
[cell.contentView addSubview:yourSub];
in cellForRowAtIndexPath method
And you can restore your textField like this:
NSIndexPath *ip = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:ip]
UITextField *textField = (UITextField*)[cell viewWithTag:101];
Pay attention to 101 - it is number you can use for tag. And different views (for ex: cell.contentView) may contain equal tags.

You need to subclass UITableViewCell and add in an outlet for your textfield. Lot of examples out there if you look for them. Here is one:
http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/iphone/customizing-uitableview-cell/
Something like this (MyCustomTableViewCell.h):
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface MyCustomTableViewCell : UITableViewCell
#property(nonatomic,weak) IBOutlet UITextField *myTextField;
#end
And then in the cellForRowAtIndexPath:
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
MyCustomTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.myTextField.text = #"Whatever";
Don't forget to #import "MyCustomTableViewCell.h" and also wire up that textfield in IB
