What do you mean???  

You can use type at the command prompt e.g. type filename <enter> and the result will be what the prog can interpret into text but not a lot can be interpreted, the rest will look like mumbo jumbo or spaces.   You could try a hex editor & that will allow you to alter the .exe prog but do so at your own peril.  .exe files "cannot" be retro'd to the source coding which has been compiled & linked to produce the .exe
