As with any car question it depends on the vehicle. You could try prying the hood open with your hands or taking a flat tool to use for a lever to pry it open. You could also try jacking up the car and if you have a long enough arm you oculd work the latch from underneath. If you know how to do it yourself you could replace the hood cable as well. Best of luck

If it is just the inside handle broken off you can pull the cable with a pair of pliers.
