First of all, I think it would help to know what platform you're making
this for (DOS, Windows, Linux, etc.)

Umm... again, press of the key 'L' on the keyboard? Or the press of the
'L' key on a Playstation? If it was on the keybaord (and for DOS in C),
I would do something like this:

char c;
int my_number = 165498; /* or whatever */
int decrease_by = 5;

for(;;) /* some loop */
{
    c = getch();
    if(c == 'L')
        my_number -= decrease_by;
}

I know this probably doesn't help much, but more info would be
required.
