|Is it possible to call a C program from within a stored procedure

It isn't possible directly; but the way to do it is via one of the standard packages, pipes or alerts. Your Pro*C program should wait on a pipe or an alert, and your stored procedure or trigger should then write to the pipe, or signal the alert. See the application developers guide (appendix A or B, I believe) for details about these packages.
