Create Lookup input field in visual force page dynamically

Hi,
 
In salesforce, normally when we create a custom field, we select "lookup" field type and assign a reference object to that field from where we choose a record.
My problem is... i want to assign a reference object to a lookup field dynamically [through codding.. in my visual force page].
 
Is it possible to assign a reference object dynamically to a lookup custom field?

You should be able to do this in a visualforce controller.  Just assign a valid Id to the Lookup field:

Code:
object.lookupfield__c = my_valid_id;
