Make a text  cell with tag indexvalue (menu Find> Add/Remove Cell Tags
or use the following cell expression)

Cell["", "Input"]

Modify your For loop as follows:

NotebookLocate["indexvalue"];	
SelectionMove[ EvaluationNotebook,All,CellContents];

For[i=1,i<100,NotebookWrite[EvaluationNotebook,i,All];i++]
