Is there any inbuilt function in C language by which one can directly access image contents?

You can use game libary, just like Allegro, gtk+. Functions that belong these libary can load image and sound...

Of course, no graphics RTL functions in C. But there are good libraries to read, convert and create bmp, jpeg and others. See, for example:

In Win32, nothing is needed.
All formats are native.

You can read image files in your program in a standard way, if you want to write the reader yourself. wotsit.org is a good reference for this, as already mentioned.
Or you can use a library to read image files into your program (which I would recommend). I can think of at least one such library: http://openil.sourceforge.net/
Displaying images requires a library for sure. You can use SDL and SDL_Image or Allegro (cross-platform graphics libraries) to do this, or the native Win32 API (which is really a library too).
I only personally have experience with the SDL -- if you want help displaying images in the SDL, I'd be glad to provide it.
