There are various tools around the internet (Google knows where) that can break an exe back into source code with varying degrees of success. This is commonly known as reverse engineering but is not popular with people who make commercial software, as it means you can get access to their source without paying for it. For that reason many programs are post processed by 'obfuscators' which make it even more difficult to decompile.
