A.) What u are referring to is called reverse engineering.
B.) The process of C & C++ compiling is complex and even if u reverse engineer the program back, all u end up with is a crap load of HEX and/or assembly language while u lose all the comments, classes, and a lot of other stuff. U do not get the original code back. Thus, unless u know assembly, don't bother.
C.) Goggle.

Decompiling C/C++ is impossible to get good. This is because C/C++ translates a lot of it's code into machine code(hence you get hex and assembaly), and in doing so, it makes it unreadable to humans.

I used to use REC and RECstudio, but it suddenly stopped working for me, and I've never done anything since. It was great while it lasted though...

Problem is, when it's compiled, a program replaces all it's names with hex vals, so you get functions called f00001210(); or something like that.

It's not hard per se to read hexadecimal, it's just another way to count. Just like binary.

0-9 is represented by 0-9. 10=A, 11=B. 12=C, 13+D, 14=E, 15=F. Thats all there is to it.

It does look confusing at first, but it gets easier realy fast.

reading in general can be quite inefficient, sometimes id rather have popup books

Well depends on the language. English is highly redundent, but there are other languages that aren't(Read:romance languages)
