I am not crazy ... at least i dont think i am

here , some of u might think i fell on my head .. i might have but forgot about it ...anyway , here is my question :

given a certain program done (regardless what language) and compiled etc... i am talking about an executable file here ...
is there anyway , (maybe by running a program in parallel etc ... to chage the behaviour of the initial program (maybe fix buggs etc..) without having to edit it in assembly ...
any suggestions? i thought of checking the space on the hdd where the program is put , particularly the last sector , maybe inserting the code in the remainder of the sector will do (like a virus) ....
shall i repeat that as far as i remember i didnt fall on my head (that will be too bad)

There's something called a VB3 Disassembler which creates a VB3 Project out of an executable file which was compiled using VB3...

If it was compiled in a different language, then you can only edit it by opening it in an Assembler program. This act is usually illegal... You can make sure by looking for a bunch of sentences similar to these in the program's manual or ReadMe file: (Important part in bold)
