You dont compress a piston with a C clamp, you use a piston ring compressor to compress the rings and tap the top with a hammer to sit it back in to the cylinder bore. The C clamp is used for compressing valve springs. *AArOn*

Similar to any other caliper piston, you might used a C-Clamp that has been covered in some protective coating to prevent it scratching the caliper.
