There’s no universal way to do it. First, you’d need to find the default browser. The path to the EXE for the default browser is always stored in the registry key:
Once you know the browser, things are a lot more open-ended. Internet Explorer, for example, stores the home page URL in the following registry key:
In general however, browser can store the home page in any way they like (possibly in the registry but, possibly in a config file).
Note: If you’re not familiar with accessing the Windows registry in .NET/C#, the MSDN page should provide all the info you need.
