you can buy a decompiler online or engage the services of a programmer to do it for you.

on a sidenote, decompiling is a process that's often frowned upon. especially by developers such as myself.

Because developers like myself put plenty of time and effort into our programs and there are times when we do not want to share the source code.

Just imagine someone steal a monograph(a paper ,a novel or anything) you have written and claim that he wrote it. How do you feel ?

In short, decompiling just means stealing coders property. No excuse can be acceptable. Sometimes it's simply called "illegal".
