website/webservice to fetch data from pc

This will depend on how this data is going to be exposed from your PC. If you want to read some files from the file system, the server hosting the web application will need to have access to those files. For example you could create a network share and read from this share: byte[] data = File.ReadAllBytes("\\yourpc\somefile.dat");

yes, you can have your localhost server too. install wamp, or xampp server, create your php script that gives you data, which can used in you mobile application.
