Always distribute the release version of your program. A debug build has alot of bloat in it which, whilst assisting the debugger to perform its job properly, doesn't do you any favours if you are trying to keep your program small. A release build on the other hand has minimal bloat and is optimized which always reduces code size. If you really want to include debugging information for your release builds, then configure Visual Studio's linker options to use an external debugging database which the exe links to.

How do you modify computer executable files?

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.
