Question about grades in College courses?

I am in community college trying to get into either SF State or Sac State. The nursing program there are very full, and it is very competitive to get into.
If I go back to ace the classes that I have previously gotten a C on, will my c's be overlooked so I can have a better chance in getting into a one of those programs? Let's say I have mostly a's and b's but a 2 or 3 major classes I have a C on, if I retake them and get an A, I know it will not change my overall GPA, but will it still be looked at to help me get into the college program?

If you retake the class, the new grade should replace the old grade in your GPA. Yes, there would still be a record of the old grade listed on your transcript but I would think that the new grade would show that you are serious about your future and willing to take the steps to excel.
