Populate a TableView

I have an iPhone project with 2 view controllers. The 1st view controller is a collection view controller that pushes to a detail view controller. Inside the detail view controller is a container embedded with the table view. I'm able to populate the table view, however, I want to be able to populate the table view with different data that corresponds to the different tabs in the collection view. Also, the small table view inside the detail view controller pushes to another detail controler. I just need simple code in order to make this happen asap.
