There really is no need to retune a 5 string bass to drop-C, unless your 5 strings are tuned to E-A-D-G-C. But under most normal (factory) setups, the 5th string is a low B, resulting in B-E-A-D-G tuning. The C to which you are referring is at the 1st fret of the low B, so the term "drop-C" doesn't really apply since the C is "raised" half a step on the low B string. But just anchor your root finger there on the low C, and play away. 5 strings were created just for this purpose - so you didn't have to retune, as is the case for many drop-D tunings on a 4 string bass, which means the fingerboard layout changes.
