Get / Set calendar events on iCal (programmatically)

Question

is there any objective C API or object that can give me access to the iCal and its events? I need to read the calendar events for a given date and optionally set a new event.

The code is either plain C or objective C (in the GUI version of the program). I'm using xcode on a mac os 10.6.

Sample code is greatly appreciated.

As of 10.8 (Mountain Lion), Calendar Store is deprecated. You should now use Event Kit.
