You can simply add the value '3' to the character.  For example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {

	FILE *fp;
	char buffer[512];
	int i;

	if ((fp=fopen("myfile", "rt"))==NULL) {
		printf("\nCan't open file!\n");
		return 1;
	}

	fread(buffer, 512, 1, fp);

	fclose(fp);

	// convert characters here
	for (i=0; i<512; i++) {
		buffer[i]+=3;
	}

	// do whatever you want with the buffer here

	return 0;
}
