    Canonical answer

    1. .exe files are Windows executable files.
    2. Ubuntu is Linux.
    3. Linux is not Windows.

    Supplementary answer

    Some (not all) Windows executables can be run in some Linux OSs by installing software called WINE. It is not really for the beginner.

    Side note

    In correct English, there is only one question mark at the end of a question.
