Assuming you declare your inplaceSelect the folling way:

<rich:inplaceSelect value="#{bean.value}" defaultLabel="click to edit">
    <f:selectItems value="#{bean.selectItems}" />
</rich:inplaceSelect>

Your values must be of type SelectItems, containg a value and a label.

// populate your selectitems where you need them, getting your data from 
// your database or somewhere else
List<SelectItem> items = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
items.add(new SelectItem(...));

Access your select items collections like this.

public List<SelectItem> getSelectItems() {
    return items;
}
