I think you are mixing up some things.  When your C source is
hilighted, then so-called "faces" are used.  A face specifies size,
font-family, foreground-color, background-color, etc.  So it seems to
me that you need to run M-x list-faces-display, find the face whose
name starts with font-lock-..., remember its name, and then run M-x
customize-face to change it.
