It can't because there are many many different source code patterns that produce the same executable code pattern among other things. The optimiser will have mashed up and moved code around and eliminated variables and parameters where it can, possibly done loop unwinding, all symbol names will be unknown.

The best you can do would be to convert your exe to assembler, then read the assembler and understand what it is doing yourself.
