It is called reverse engineering. The short answer is 'no'.

The short version of why:
compiling C: c code -> object code -> image file (exe)
The object code can be created from ANY language - FORTRAN, C, .. whatever.
Object code is all pretty much similar from language to language.

You can get assembler code from an image file, realiably.
