You should be getting errors, because PL/SQL inside "execute immediate" knows nothing about "mystorageArray" (or "i" for that matter) declared in your stored procedure.
Probably, you could get by using "package" variables (and referring to them properly: package_name.var_name, specifically inside your dynamic sql).

Im on 8.1.7. Is it possible to do something like this? Im getting errors:

create or replace procedure myproc is

TYPE myRecord is RECORD (

     field_1 number,
     field_2 number);

  TYPE storageArray IS TABLE OF myRecord     INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    myStorageArray storageArray;
   i number;
begin
i := 1;
execute immediate

   ' begin
  mystorageArray.field_''i'' := 1;
  end; ';
end;
/
