setuid() doesn't take two arguments but only one, which is the user ID you want to use: int setuid(uid_t uid) according to the man entry. There are alternatives to setuid depending on your needs: setegid() seteuid() setgid() setuid(). Upon success, setuid() and all alternatives return 0; otherwise -1 is returned.

setuid is used to temporarily change the user id of the current user to execute a certain command as a different user. The first argument it takes is the uid of the user to be set, the second argument is the uid of the user to set it to.
