Add this to your .emacs file:

   (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 
             #'(lambda ()
                 ;; Use 3 space indent by default
                 (setq c-basic-offset 3)
                 ;; Never insert tab characters when indenting
                 (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
                 )
             )

There's also `M-x untabify`, which changes all tab characters to 
spaces in the current selection.

I use four-space indent by default, so I set up a command that 
switches between three and four when I'm working on Valgrind sources.
