This tutorial was helpful to me. You can reference whatever object you need through the tag.

In the Storyboard drag on a UIImageView or UITextField etc. and set the tag to 100 (whatever you want) then in your - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath use the tag to reference it.

Here's something you could do, just remember to set the tags in the storyboard:

 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
 {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

// Configure the cell...
if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}

 UITextField *tField = (UITextField *)[cell viewWithTag:100];

return cell;
 }
