The first thing to beat into your head before approaching relativity is that everything is relative, and nothing is ever at rest. Only more or less energized than another object. You might be sitting at your computer, but you, your chair, your computer, your room, and your house is all spinning quite swiftly across this ball, which is in turn revolving even more quickly around this mass of fusion energy, which is in turn revolving in this motley collection of stars we call a galaxy, which is in turn shooting away from the other galaxies out there. So if someone drove by moving at the speed of light relative to us, we wouldn't even notice him or her turning his lights on, no matter how quickly we could process the image of his or her passing. But whoever was in the car at the time would see the headlights turn on, just like normal. Of course, time would be greatly slowed for that person relative to us, so "normal" is also a relative term (and the slowing of time with energy added is an effect noted and tested using supersonic jets and synchronized atomic clocks, so relativity has some value).

So basically, it's impossible to reach C speed, because you would need unlimited energy.
You're not gaining mass. You're only gaining kinetic energy with accelerating.
