Is it possible for one to write a C program that can recieve signals back from the serial port and display the returned value?

It most certainly is possible. However this is operating system dependent.

This will be implemented on Windows machines.  

The application involves 7 Segment displays being controlled using C. so how would you go about determining the value that is being displayed on the LEDs?

highly dependent on what hardware interface you use to drive the display. 

As for how RS232 works on windows... no idea; check MSDN.
