Can we somehow navigate, reorder (transpose) or iterate the function
arguments of a function decl/def in C-styled languages like we can
with lisp sexps?

Yes. Use C-M-f, C-M-b (`forward/backward-sexp') to move through them,
C-M-t (`transpose-sexps') to transpose them (use a numerical prefix
argument if you're adventurous ;-), C-M-k (`kill-sexp') to murder one.
"Iterate a function argument"? Not sure what you mean by this. In
English, you can only iterate an action, not a thing.

No, forward/backward-sexp does not work the way you describe in cc-
mode.
Try for example:
float add(float * x, float * y)
When I stand anywhere on the expression "float * x", preferrably at
the "f", I want a function, say c-forward-argument, that places the
cursor after the comma ",".
I think I could write this function on my own but first I ask others
so I don't reinvent the wheel.

"C-s ," ?
