Think about what you are asking. Depending a bit on the language, there is no direct relationship between a compiled binary and the source code that it was created from.

With assembly there is a reasonably straightforward link between machine code and source code, but even under the best circumstances you'd be losing all comments, variable names, macros, how the code is organized into different files, etc.

With C, for any non-trivial program there is essentially an infinite amount of options the source code might look like. Same goes for Basic and any other compiled language really.

It's a one-way street.
