You can store the NSInteger as NSNumber object.

mutableDictionary[integerKey] = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:integer];

or even better

mutableDictionary[integerKey] = @(integer);

For NSRange, use NSValue object.

mutableDictionary[rangeKey] = [NSValue valueWithRange:range];

I have used NSString for both NSRange and NSInteger, to remove confusion use this:

NSInteger i = 6;
    NSRange range = NSMakeRange (25, 3);
    NSMutableDictionary *dic =[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
    [dic setObject:NSStringFromRange(range) forKey:@"range"];
    [dic setObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",i] forKey:@"integer"];
    //How to get it...
    NSRange range1 =  NSRangeFromString([dic objectForKey:@"range"]) ;
    NSInteger inte = [[dic objectForKey:@"integer"] integerValue];

This is a sub-optimal solution because it involves string parsing each way. There is already a class available to deal with what OP wants. – borrrden Jun 14 '13 at 06:36
