Best Answer

In general you do not.

Nearly all executable files are coded in a computer programming language, and then compiled into executable files.

So to modify an executable, you would need the source code for the program, you would modify the source code and then recompile into a NEW version of the executable.

Linux does provide for an executable script file, but these are more scripts than executable files.
