If you want to use write for Windows, then the tool you need is a higher-level language such as C++, C#, Java, etc.
You will need an IDE / compiler. Here are some for C++: SourceForge.net: Integrated Development Environment - cpwiki
In case you aren't using VS, you need the Windows SDK.

You could also try gcc for windows if you just want to learn C.

cproto
cdecl

Also note that programming C and programming for Windows are two different things. The first is fine, but the second is problematic.

i want to learn programming,some people around me said C is the best language to begin with.so i choose it and intend to learn it.

The best language to learn first is subjective. You should choose what you really want to learn.
If you want to learn more about the computer architecture and roll out your own solutions, so to speak, you should pick C.
If you want to learn more about programming in general, such as how to write large software out there, then you should choose C++.
Regardless of what you choose, you need an IDE and compiler. Visual Studio and Code::Blocks + mingw are popular choices that support both C and C++.
