I'm trying to put chords to a tune I've composed in the key of A minor. Can anyone tell me, according to the laws of music, can a 'C' chord be placed straight before either an 'F' or an 'Am' chord, and can the 'C' chord be placed straight after an 'F' chord in the key of Am?

Yes, but it will sound like a Major key (C Maj). If you reverse them, it will sound like a Minor.

Chord structure (IMHO) is what make a song unique. Any sequence is acceptable...as long as it sounds good.
Take for instance going from a F Major straight into a B Major!! Wow is all I can say..that is so strange. But, the master tunesmith Elton John made it work in a song called "Turn Out The Lights When You Leave" from his album "Peachtree Road."
In simpler terms that is the equivalent of going from a C Major straight into an F# Major. Very odd.
