What you can do is pass the array as a an argument to the function. Because an array is a reference, the changes made to the array in the function will affect the array everywhere

    int array[10];
    function (array);
    //now array is filled with the numbers 0..9
}

void function(int array[10] )
{
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        array[i] = i;
}
