Yes. You can usually decompile into assembly. Sometimes if you have a debug build you can get higher level information out.
There''s also a .exe file format explanation at www.wotsit.org - pretty advanced though 
I think most VB .exe files can be decompiled into almost pure VB code, but I dunno how.

The older VB .exe files can be as they''re simply a series of calls to the VB run time dll. The newer compile to native code version are essentially the same as a C compiled executable of the same purpose.
The question is, can you really do without VB runtime modules when compiling as native code? This would save alot of installation file space and speed up VB apps.

From what I''ve heard, it''s possible, but just barely (that is, if you wanna go from exe to the actual source code (not assembly)). I could see why most peeps wouldn''t want you to do this though 
If you code it, they will come...
