I am new to Cocoa and Mac dev, and I want to make a simple dictionary program with Cocoa on MacOSX. Can anybody help and tell me how to get any words on screen where cursor points in Cocoa?

Could you not simply use the built-in dictionary application ?
That said, to put anything on screen on OS X, you need a window and a view. However, both of these can be almost or completely transparent/ borderless to give the illusion of the text being next to the cursor. You can also create a menu bar-less application (See NSUIElement and LSBGOnly) to present these windows.
