You could mean two things by this: the way tabs are presented on screen,
or the way C mode indents. For the former, use M-x edit-options to
change F-tab-columns. For the latter, I stupidly didn't make it a
variable. First you have to get C-mode loaded by loading any C file.
Then you need to change Ctabs using M-x ef Ctabs. Make it look like this:
Name:Ctabs
Some stuff here I can't remember (the documentation)
[*] [*]
The important part is the four spaces between the [*]'s.

Just put these where you like and type C-c C-c to read the new set in, and you are done.
