Can I create initializer for dictionary in swift ?

I have a variable in class that needs to use dictionary key and return dictionary value. But I can only assign to a variable in class dictinary with a key inside (var month = monthsOfYear[1]). And as soon as I assign monthsOfYear[1] to var month , I cant change it,

I have a enum Gender and i assign it to a var gender in my class easily (var gender = Gender() ) . Can i somehow do the same with dictionary?

In a class you can create anything you want. I'm trying to understand the exact question. If you create a class like

class ClassName: NSObject{
var nameOfDictionary
override init() {

    }
}

then just initial that class to a variable instance in the class that you want to have access to it, you will have everything you need.
