>>if suppose an device
Its "a device" -- see these grammer rules
>>is this possible in c?
Yes. I think you will have to write a device driver. But you first have to decide what operating system you want to use. MS-Windows you get the Windows DDK (Device Driver Kit).

As soon as you start messing with devices, your code becomes very unportable.
With good design, you can minimise the amount of code you need to port from one machine to another.
