C is not a particularly difficult programming language. Most of the
effort involved in learning it would in fact consist of learning
fundamental programming concepts which can be applied to other
languages as well. You are eventually going to need these concepts
and techniques if you are going to write any sort of program, so
there is no point in trying to avoid it.
On the other hand, there are other languages with which it might be
easier to learn programming, after which you should have little
trouble picking up C and Objective-C (which is just a small extension
of C). Although I'm not too fond of it, Java is very popular as an
introductory language right now, and you can use Cocoa with it. I've
also heard people recommend Python for beginners, and it too has
Cocoa bindings.
To obtain the best results with Cocoa you will have to use Objective-
C eventually, but that doesn't mean you have to start with it. You
don't even have to start with Cocoa, in fact.
