How about creating an NSMutableDictionary to hold references to the labels:

NSMutableDictonary *labelDictionary = [[NSMutableDictonary alloc] init];
for (NSInteger i=0; i<50; i++){
    UILabel *lbl=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRect(0,20*i, 100, 20)];
    [lbl setTag:i];
    [lbl setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Label #%d", i]];
    [self.view addSubview:lbl];
    [labelDictonary setObject:lbl forKey:lbl.text];
    [lbl release];
}

Now, whenever you want to get the label, all you have to do is

UILabel *lbl = (UILabel *)[labelDictionary objectForKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Label #%d", i];
