Maybe you confuse two things? While BASIC is a programming language,
Cocoa is a set of Frameworks: AppKit, Foundation and a few others.
Xcode will identify all the languages it will work with using the help
from
Xcode.
With some patience and expertise, you can add other languages as well.
Using other Frameworks/library sets isn't a problem at all. Just link
them in.

You can't. Cocoa supports Objective-C and Java. Other languages, like
C++, need some third party wrapper library, preprocessor, whatever.
You can mix C++ into Objective-C, however. Using a third party C++ lib
is a good example.
... then learn C++, ...
Why? To understand Cocoa and ObjC documentation, some knowledge in
plain C is fully sufficient. ObjC is so much more elegant and easier to
learn than C++.
... Purchase a book ...
To get started, I highly recommend the Currency Converter example.
Unlike other sample code you find it in Xcode Help -> Show
Documentation Window -> Developing Cocoa Objective-C Applications: A
Tutorial.
Books are fine as a reference for more specialized tasks.
Have fun,
Markus
