You will need to use a wallet that supports BCC in order to be able to spend it. Right now, the only wallets I know of are Bitcoin ABC (based off of Bitcoin Core) and Electron Cash (based off of Electrum).

If you use Bitcoin ABC, then you can copy and paste the Bitcoin Core wallet.dat into the Bitcoin ABC datadir and it will work. Bitcoin ABC is forked from Bitcoin Core and, AFAIK, does not change the wallet format so the wallet files will be compatible.
