How do I view/edit the source code to programs?
I know this'll break copyright laws, but that only applies to if I distribute it to other people. So what programs for windows should I use to do this? I tried notepad++, but I just got a billion incoherent characters.

So, ultimately it comes down to whether a program is open source or not. For instance, Linux and its millions of distributions are open-source, so you can actually find the source, likely on their site or at a mirror. However, applications like Photoshop will always have the source only available to their paid developers. In this same fashion, a lot of applications actually have to be compiled before being run, so you can only find the source.

I actually like the idea of a sixth generation Pokemon Emerald remix; few people think of the possibilities that one game has in full, colorful, barely pixaleted 3-D (in other words, think of a Play Station 2 or Xbox Original). The existing 3D we have with the DS is good, but the next generation of handheld consoles should give much more detail to the game - imagine being able to change your perspective to look into the sky while the stormcloud is slowly stretching across the region once Kyogre and Groudon have both been awoken. Imagine seeing the sky tower, and a green tail, to the left, and mirages to the right. For that matter, think of Mirage Island! There are so many other moments for which we could experience in perspective-3D Pokemon Emerald; the battle frontier is one example, but just seeing the sun rise and set as the time passes in Dewford city would be awesome. Of course, my dreams may be more than one generation away; are there any Wii games that even would make this real?

There has to be a program that can successfully de-compile binary back to source though, right? I've heard about at least one.

Could I at least find a programmer who is an ecpert at this stuff and can make a patch that allows me to insert extra programming into it?

To put things in perspective, when you try to edit a program, it is binary, not text, so trying to edit it with a text editor would be like trying to edit a png image in a text editor, or a video.

I just want to force my FPS games to say HEADSHOT or insert my own ub3r cheat codes for other games.
Maybe if I actually learned something about coding I could do this myself, but I don't know where to look for this kind of stuff.

First Person Shooter
Like Halo or Bioshock EDIT: Here's an easier question: Where is the kernel in Linux and how can I view it's source code? Everyone I asked so far, no matter how much they know about Linux, has simply ignored me every time I ask this.
