Are you talking about a Modern UI (Metro) application or a desktop app? – SLaks Oct 17 '12 at 20:09

No. Among other reasons, a Windows Store app must have a user interface, and the Win32 APIs callable from a Windows Store app do not include the functionality required to build a user interface.
You can certainly build a Windows Store app using C, though doing so does not sound like fun.
