Yes, do a search on decompilers/ disassemblers.
Be warned though, the results may be difficult to understand.
Ask yourself if it is worth it too, and whether you could find out this information using an easier method. (looking in books perhaps ? ... )

There are no such programs (I am a programmer, geocities.com/argeesoftware), the only way to get the source code is to have the uncompiled file which means you wrote it or someone has agreed to let you use it. Once compiled an .exe file is in binary language which is the basic language a computer understands (don't confuse with Basic Programming Language) where to make it simple switches are either "on" or "off". It's the whole idea (besides greater execution speed) for this type of file that it cannot be modified, speaking strictly from a programming point of view.

The short answer is no. An exe is typically a binary file.
A bit of an odd question to ask,. . . .
