Hi. No you can't cause the C20 spindle has a thicker shaft and needs bigger wheel bearings as the C10 one.

Has anyone put C10 front coils in a C 20? I am looking to lightly lower the front of my C 20, 2 inches, and already have a set of new C10 springs.

C10 and C20 use the same coil springs. Compare the part numbers at Rock Auto or check application at Summit.

There are many after market lowering springs out there. Best would be lowering spindles, they don't change the geometry of your suspension and steering. Just drop them on and you're good to go.
