Answer 1

NSDictionary and Dictionary are pretty much interchangeable. So there's no need to, but yes you can:

let jsonDict = (NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(jsonData, options: nil, error: &error) as NSDictionary) as Dictionary

Answer 2

I found answer from http://www.swift-studies.com/blog/2014/6/6/loading-a-swift-dictionary-from-a-plist-file

var swiftDict : Dictionary<String,AnyObject!> = Dictionary<String,AnyObject!>()
for key : AnyObject in ocDictionary.allKeys {
    let stringKey = key as String 
    if let keyValue = ocDictionary.valueForKey(stringKey){
        swiftDict[stringKey] = keyValue
    }
}

Answer 3

use:

let jsonDic = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(jsonData, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: &error) as Dictionary<String, AnyObject>;
