You can use a hex editor to change text or colors, but you're dealing with a maze of binary so you have to be careful with what you are doing. I wouldn't really call that rewriting so much as it is modding.

Short answer, NO. but there are various reverse engineering techniques. Some are better than others but none can give you the source code.
Now if you do get the source code somehow and modify it you will be up copyright hell with the feds knocking at your door.
Believe me you are not the first one to attempt this.

People hack other people's software, but those of us in the industry call that theft. What you are suggesting is illegal and immoral, it would be copyright infringement.
