Well, no amount of transposing will make a minor chord into a major.  
However, one is able to play minors against majors (and vice versa), but 
that technically changes the effective chord.  For instance, an E minor 
played on top of a C major results in a C major seventh.  This would be 
skin to saying an E minor with a C root.

Perhaps the original music wrote D minor but meant F major with a D 
root, which is really a D minor seventh.  Transposing that chord a fifth 
results in a C major with an A root, or an A minor seventh.  Is that 
what you are after?
