There are many hacks available to run mac on windows for xcode or other purpose but you should not do this because of the following resosns
- Its illegal.
- It will not perform well.
- Many of the drivers are not available for windows based machines.
Hackintosh is a solution but its like running windows 8 on pentium 3 with 256MB RAM
choice is yours

Technically, compiling Objective-C on windows or even other OS is possible. But it might need a lot of efforts to make it work within some IDEs.
You should take a look at this link. You need stuffs like Cygwin, gcc to compile Objective-C on windows.
And you also should read this HOWTO: Compiling Objective-C with gcc. Although it's for Ubuntu, but it gives you a piece of sample code to show you the difference, and tells you some tips.
