help!?!?

hi i just joined this group.
how do you program a PICmicro in C or C++ instead of assembly? i dont
know a lick of assembly but have lots of expirience with C/++ i have
the PICkit 1 flash starter kit (programer and demo board) along with
MPLAB and evrything but i cant find a way to compile C and program it
to my micro, i have 1 8pin micro and 5 other 14 pin ones.
could some one please help me??
also i have had some great intrest in BEAM robotics and have build a
few of the simpler devices, but i dont understand bicores and how they
work, pinouts, funtions ext.
i am trying to build a swarm sweeping system for the shop at my shool
(so we dont have to sweep up evry day) i have gone through a long
desighn and engineering process, but have no idea how to implement it
electronically.
help!!
Thank you verry mutch to anybody who responds with any information
whatsoever.
i am a high school student, and i am on the robotics team at our school
we praticipate in (you might have haerd about this) FIRST robotics
competition, so i do know quite a bit about egineerign and desighn of
robots, its just that the electronics is so simple on the robots that
there is little to be learned from connecting wires
