I mean, is it possible?
If yes, then how?

Download a decompiling tool.

Technically you cannot de-compile an executable past Assembly language, however some have done this if a program was written in C or Pascal if it was coded without anything but the standard libraries, plus you need to know that it was written 100% in that language. You also need to know which compiler it was compiled in, etc. It is a very complex proccess.

you'll get pretty ugly and unreadable piles of code in most cases. don't try to decompile exe files unless there's no other way.

you also shouldn't mess with exe files made by others if they are not open source (and you normally don't need to decompile if something is open source)

Once upon time I tried to decompile conuterstrike2d.exe. Totally unreadable.
