I am working on a project on which I have to preselect a particular cell.

I can preselect a cell using -willDisplayCell, but I can\'t deselect it when t

In addition to setting the cell as selected, you also need to inform the tableView that the cell is selected. Add a call to -tableView:selectRowAtIndexPath:animated:scrollPosition: to your willDisplayCell: method: and you will be able to deselect it as normal.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView 
  willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell*)cell
forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{ 
    AppDelegate_iPad *appDelegte = (AppDelegate_iPad *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

    if ([appDelegte.indexPathDelegate row] == [indexPath row])
    {
        // SELECT CELL
        [cell setSelected:YES]; 
        // TELL TABLEVIEW THAT ROW IS SELECTED
        [tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];   
    } 
}

Be sure to use UITableViewScrollPositionNone to avoid odd scrolling behavior.
