You can't. The most you might be able to retrieve is the symbol table (list of variables, procedure names, etc.) You won't even be able to get the symbol table if the executable is "stripped". Having said that, it MAY be possible to reverse-engineer the executable. You need a disassembler and a deep knowledge of how your compiler code generator works. It's also extremely difficult to reverse-engineer code that was generated by an optimizing compiler.
