You use the flippers, controlled by the buttons on either side, to try and not let the ball drain down the middle. Depending on the game, most have 3 balls per game and nearly all have different rules but you generally use the flippers to get the ball to hit the targets that are flashing. But the rules are different on every machine.
If you're talking about a regular pinball machine you'd need to open the backbox and take the ROMs out then hook them up to your computer and reprogram them, have fun with it!
No. It can't be called as pinball game if there's no parts in it.
