Alternatively you can also try PhoneGap or Titanium appcelerator for developing iPhone application and also both these technologies are not based in objective C. Maybe you can just have a look.

Titanium Appcelerator

PhoneGap

For developing apps for iOS, you NEED to have a machine running on Mac OS.

Xcode must be used to develop for the iOS (iPod touch, iPads and iPhones). XCode is the only platform for which the iPhone SDK is available, and Mac OS X is the only platform that allows XCode.

if you are planning on making say a game, you can use a multi-client engine like Unity3d or something similar, develop your app on windows, and test it live inside the engine. Although, you will still need a mac the day you wish to publish for the AppStore.

To develop an iPhone/iPad application you need to have just two thing.

  1. Mac OS on your PC.

  2. XCode (3.0,4.0) as IDC with latest iOS SDK.

You can purchase VMWare and get a Mac disk image for it which will run like a regular VM under Windows. However, as you can imagine, emulators like this run excruciatingly slowly and I honestly wouldn't recommend it.

You can get a second-hand Mac Mini for a couple of hundred pounds on eBay or brand new from Apple for the £600 mark. (again, less on other auction sites or classified ad sites)

Hope this helps.
