You could use the method

- (NSString *)stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:(NSString *)target 
                                        withString:(NSString *)replacement

...to get a new string with a substring replaced (See NSString documentation for others)

Example use

NSString *str = @"This is a string";

str = [str stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"string"
                                     withString:@"duck"];
