Sure.  Although you don't identify which version you are trying to
install or the platform you are trying to install on, you mention "drive
C:" so we can safely assume that you are talking about some version of
Windows.  We can hopefully assume since you are at this stage of the
game that you are using the prebuilt binary with installer.  In that
case, when you see the "Installment options" pane during the
installation, look at the bottom of the window.  You should see "Current
location" with a destination of "C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\<version>\".  Click the Browse button and change the
destination.
