If I have a webbased app, wrapped in a UIWebView, can I execute Objective C code form within the HTML code?
I hope I don't get downvoted to oblivion for asking this but I am not able to find anything online.

Doesn't C code need to be compiled? I don't think it can be executed within the HTML

Its impossible.
but if you trying to create HTML5 application its possible using webview; http://conecode.com/news/2011/05/ios-tutorial-creating-a-web-view-uiwebview/
in this case you need create your application with Javascript and HTML. I recoment you to download jquery mobile and bootstrap mobile too.
For a complex app use Phonegap: http://phonegap.com/

Thanks for the additional details. Side question. Is it possible to develop a platform independent web based app using phonegap?

@user2891327 the phonegap are used to access the mobile function / events. Use jquery mobile to create you implementations and views, The phonegap api is only to access the device functions.
I'm assuming you mean that you have an iOS app that contains a UIWebView, and you want your embedded javascript to call ObjC. If so, see: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/SafariJSProgTopics/Tasks/ObjCFromJavaScript.html
There are libraries that build on top of Apple's code. I've used Jockey (https://github.com/tcoulter/jockeyjs) and it works pretty well.
