I'd recommend you post such questions to gnu.emacs.help, since it's
neither a bug report, nor a feature request, but just a question.
As for answers, the Emacs manual (reachable via the Help menu, for
example) is a good way to figure it out. It has a whole section "53.4.6
Rebinding Keys in Your Init File" with examples.
So for your case, you'd do:
(global-set-key [?\C-o] 'other-window)
