Depends on the language... if it is a .NET or Java program, there are a few decompilers out there. Otherwise, you can't really do that.

You can use a decompiler but it is does not help if the executable has been obfuscated. You can find the list of decompilers at the links below, at the end of the page.
Also, decompiling a closed-source application may breach the license or even law. So make sure what you are doing is for yourself.

Short answer - You Can't.
What you can do is find a decompiler (do a search of "decompiler" and/or "dissassembler" on google) and convert the exe to a "reasonable approximation" of the source code.
Of course, it won't BE the source. But it may help you to get a handle on whatever it is you're trying to do with the exe.
Remember - it is illegal for you to decompile a program for the purpose of copying algorithms within the code, or for defeating security within the code, or for the purpose of reselling the code as your own.

definite, yet you will no longer get each and every thing decrease back the way it grow to be. Stack variable names would be lost. as nicely, if the compiler did any optimizations, the code will come decrease back optimized, which will look unusual.
