I have to run a program that I don't really trust and I afraid that it may mess up my computer. It is a Windows program so I have to run it in Wine, but I don't want it to access anything outside the virtual C drive. Is it possible somehow?

If you don't trust it, don't run it. Wine is not particularly well secured against this type of attack - simply because it's not meant to be a sandbox. In short, you can assume that a program has the same access as your user.
A good alternative is a seperate, virtual machine. VM environments are to a certain degree made with such risks in mind.
