Remove the colons from the assignment statements.

SQL> declare

  2  w_a number := 0;
  3  w_b number:= 0;
  4  w_c char(10)  := null;
  5  w_d number := 0;

  6 cursor v_c_t is
  7 select a,c,b from civ_test;
  8 begin
  9 for v_c_t_row in v_c_t loop

 10  w_d := w_d + 1;
 11  w_a := 0;
 12  w_c := null:
 13  w_b := 0;
 14  w_a := select c from civ_test where v_c_t_row.a = wd;
             Not sure about the above, but you could:
              select c into w_a from civ_test where v_c_t_row.a = wd;

15 w_c := 'v-'||v_c_t_row.c;
16 w_b := v_c_t_row.b;
17 insert into v_civ_test values (w_c, w_b, w_a, w_d); 18 end loop
19 end;
20 /

hope this helps
