The position of the opening brace is controlled by the value of
substatement-open in the c-offsets-alist.  You can set it in
your current buffer by doing:
  C-c C-o substatement-open RET 0 RET
You should be able to set it in your .emacs to make it always happen:
  (setq c-default-style '((other . "user")))
  (c-set-offset 'substatement-open 0)

For more than you ever want to know about tweaking C mode:
