What you describe is called geocoding. (actually reverse geocoding.)
It used to be that you had to use Google's server APIs for this.
Apple added a new class, CLGeocoder, to iOS 5 that lets you do this. However, it uses Google's servers under the covers, and you are subject to Google's terms of service when you use it. You are only allowed to do a single geocode lookup for a user action. You are supposed to limit requests to around one per minute. Read the writeup in the CLGeocoder class reference for specific use guidelines.
