C drive can be formatted if it doesnt contain any operating system files, that means no OS is installed in C
If OS is installed in C formatting may lead to system crash

Another way to format is to reboot system and enter the Windows CD and it will ask for formatting but mind it if it contains any OS system it will be deleted.

RE: Format C Drive
No. C drive is active drive and boot drive so it cannot be formated without another media.
