If you want to do this for all files of that type, then c-mode-hook is
a better place to put the function, which doesn't need to check the
filename:

  (add-hook 'c-mode-hook (lambda() (setq c-basic-offset 4)))

Alternatively, use file variables to save settings specific to that
file in the file itself. Put a comment like this one near the end of
the file:

  /*
   * Local Variables:
   * mode:c
   * c-basic-offset: 4
   * End:
   */
