You cannot save data in application's main bundle instead you have to do in document directory like this:

 NSArray *paths=NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *plistFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Data.plist"];

if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPAth:plistFilePath]) 
{//plist already exits in doc dir so save content in it

 NSMutableArray *data = [NSMutableArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:plistFilePath];
 NSArray *arrValue = [data objectAtIndex:arrayCounter];

 NSString *strValue = [arrValue objectAtIndex:0];
 strValue = [strValue stringByAppending:@"hello"]; //change your value here

 [[data objectAtIndex:arrayCounter] replaceObjectAtIndex:0 withObject:strValue]; //value replaced
 [data writeToFile:plistFilePath atomically:YES];
}
else{ //firstly take content from plist and then write file document directory. it will be executed only once

 NSString *plistPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Data" ofType:@"plist"];
 NSMutableArray *data = [NSMutableArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:plistPath];
 NSArray *arrValue = [data objectAtIndex:arrayCounter];

 NSString *strValue = [arrValue objectAtIndex:0];
 strValue = [strValue stringByAppending:@"hello"]; //change your value here

 [[data objectAtIndex:arrayCounter] replaceObjectAtIndex:0 withObject:strValue]; //value replaced
 [data writeToFile:plistFilePath atomically:YES];
