Delete Portion of a file

hi i would like to know whether i can delete a part of a file in C
for eg. if my file contained
1234567890
and i want to delete
456
so that it becomes
1237890

is there a way i can do this.

well, one way i can achieve this is by creating a new file, copy whatever i want, then delete the old file and rename the new file with the name of the old file.
but i was wondering whether it can be done in directly, i.e. without doing any copies.

plz help
regards
