Ripping source code is illegal, but for "educational purposes" complicated and fun.
I'm assuming you mean an .exe executable file? You will need a disassembler. Try PE EXPLORER free trial, and then disassemble it. It comes with a resource editor which is top notch.
Once you disassemble the program, you will be presented with a VERY complicated page of ASSEMBLY LANUAGE. There, you will have to learn assembly (not fun). You can then download a free hex editor to traverse the program by hex and edit anything you want.
Other disassemblers can somewhat interpret the assembly into C or C++, but not as you want or think. The program will be made almost completly out of bitwise operators. (once again very complicated to understand)
After much research, you can read assembly and strings of bitwise operators enough to edit the program.
good luck.

A dissassembler is used to convert the EXE file from machine code into something that can be read a little easier by a human. Notice I said easier, the dissassembler will generate assembly code NOT some higher language like Visual BASIC...
VB source code is compiled into machine code so the only way to view the source is to have a copy of the original VB code.

You can't just decompile a program into your language of choice. Besides, the source code is almost definitely proprietary, so obtaining it would be illegal in most cases.

You have to purchase a special program that will disassemble it. Most use IDA Pro. This will show you the machine code, which you can then try to reverse engineer. It's not easy to do, obviously.
Their home page is http://www.datarescue.com/ and there's info on reverse engineering (which is what you're trying to do) at http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/sigmil/RevEng/

What you're asking is it available to dis-assembel a software/application? convinced, yet you ought to understand what programming language became used. courses/applications are then damaged all the way down to gadget language or as they use to call it in my day gadget language or binary code.

A dissasembler, know assembly? No, then your screwed
