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. |
