That is impossible in 99,9999999999% of all cases. The request for decompilers is as old as programming itself. Only a very small number of decompilers have ever been created.

And these are either for specific versions of specific languages, and/or can only be used in very specific situations (eg: debug code is compiled inside executable). In either case, the output of the decompiler is often not what you expect it to be and never 100%.

Also note that decompiling something is not for the faint of heart, you must be a real ASM and PC guru to pull something like this off.

There is a reason why decompilers almost don't exist (and it is not because it is illegal).

EDIT: Als note that disassembling and decompiling are two different things...
