DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3' # 'postgresql', 'mysql', or 'sqlite3'.
DATABASE_NAME = 'C:\DjanGoProject\first_proj\sqlitedb' # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
DATABASE_USER = # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PASSWORD = # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_HOST = # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.

You should escape \ in strings. Example: 

'C:\\DjanGoProject\\first_proj\\sqlitedb'

Or use / instead: 

'C:/DjanGoProject/first_proj/sqlitedb'
