So, you want to replace
  %.c
with
  $(TARGETPATH)/%.o

right?  As described in the GNU make info pages (you _have_ read
through them, right?), you can do that using the patsubst function:

  OBJECTS = $(patsubst $(SOURCES),%.c,$(TARGETPATH)/%.o)

That can also be written as:
  OBJECTS=$(SOURCES:%.c=$(TARGETPATH)/%.o)
