How can you see operating systems source file?

That really depends what operating system you are talking about. You may want to clarify what operating system you are interested in. The source code of many commercial operating systems, such as Windows, is not freely available, so the answer is simply "you can't". However, the source code of other operating systems, such as the different Linux distributions, is available for free, and may even be modified legally. Please note that any operating system used in "real life situations" is a huge project; finding your way around the source code may be a daunting project. According to the Wikipedia, "As of 2013, the Linux 3.10 release had 15,803,499 lines of code." At 60 lines per page, that would be a quarter of a million pages, or about a thousand volumes, if it were to be printed.
