There's a number of options, all present in the fedora repositories. I
suggest you try a few and see which you like. Here's some suggestions:

1) Programmers text editors such as emacs and vim. These are
exceptionally powerful, but have a bit of a learning curve.

2) IDEs. There are several in fedora including anjuta, geany,
kdevelop, eclipse. For eclipse you'll also want to install the
eclipse-cdt package for c/c++ editing.

That said, even the simple gedit, which is installed by default has
good syntax highlighting for c/c++.

Try a few, see what you're comfortable with.
