Instead of unarchiving an NSData object to get an NSDictionary with which I can work, what else can I do?

Nothing. If the NSData encodes an NSDictionary, you have to decode it to do anything with it.

If the encoded form is a textual format that it's practical to do textual transformations on, there may be other options. But unless you tell us exactly what the encoded form is, i.e. what format the NSData itself is, the answer won't change.
