A compiler is a computer program that translate a high-level language (such as "C") to a low-level language (i.e. machine language) so that the computer can run the program. For compilers for the C programming language go to: http://www.sourceforge.net

HTML is markup, meaning you take regular text and markup the text with tags. You can use it as source.
C is a programming language. Think of it as another language of the world. It has its own syntax(grammar) and rules.
Here is a basic C tutorial: http://www.physics.drexel.edu/courses/Comp_Phys/General/C_basics/c_tutorial.html
Here is a free C, C++ compiler and IDE from Microsoft:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/
(An IDE is a Integraded Development Environment, it helps you to code by providing hints and so forth.)
Start by following the tutorial, and note that the IDE is a very large download.
