Rare are the publishers/developers who allow this!
But it can be done in several ways:
Hexadecimal editing (this allows you to modify everything and to view some rare non-compiled/encrypted character strings) and it is the most complete method, but it's a painstaking job as Kilian says.
Decompilation (reverse engineering) is supposed to recreate the source code, but the result is not pretty to look at (no comments, variables with random names, etc...)
Or (what I use from time to time) it's partial decompilation, you can view resources like icons, cursors, string tables, parameters of any windows or dialog boxes, etc... Then it depends on the executables, some will have a lot of modifiable resources, others very few.
For software to do all this, you just need to type "hex editor" in Google to find a ton of editors (I don't have any names on hand, but I found them that way).
As for decompilers, I once found "Boomrang," which is open source and was in beta at the time, so I don't know what it has become since (it decompiles to C/C++).
And for partial decompilers, the most well-known is "ResHack," very effective, or else "XN Resource Editor," which is somewhat buggy but has a much more user-friendly interface. Both are free.
Good luck...

I searched for Boomrang but I found software that is used to restore lost data... it's not a decompiler...
