I have an NSDictionary object that is populated by NSMutableStrings for its keys and objects. I have been able to change the key by changing the original NSMutableString with the setString: method. They key however remains the same regardless of the contents of the string used to set the key initially.

My question is, is the key protected from being changed meaning it will always be the same unless I remove it and add another to the dictionary?

Thanks.
