ReadINIStr $var "$PLUGINSDIR\ini_file.ini" "Field #" "State"
See included InstallOptions examples, also this wiki page might be a bit helpful,

but will this code change value of "state" at runtime ie depending upon user selection
i'm trying it but i'm still struglling

[Red Wine]

Gosh! I give up... If this small pretty clear example cannot show you the way to go, I just don't know what else to say...
Just try it...

The value of STATE gets changed in the INI file when the user clicks the control but just before the page's leave function is called. State will therefore be whatever the user chooses at runtime.

As Red Wine suggests, just try his example. And if you still need more, take a look at the InstallOptions documentation and the samples included under ${NSISDIR}\Examples\InstallOptions included with the NSIS install.
