No, there are no way to convert a .exe into a .deb or source code. (that would be uber cool tho)

Cedega is a commercial application to run windows executable (e.g. .exe) in linux, and yes, you can play starcraft with cedega.

To see which games you can play with cedega, see the database here : http://transgaming.org/gamesdb/

No. There are dissemblers and decompilers but nothing AFAIK that will reproduce useable high level language source code.

Sorry for asking this, but isnŽt there any way to get cedega free?
`cause we are from students from Cuba and we do not have credit cards or anything like that so we cannot download or subscribe to any place where we have to pay for it......

But, thanks anyway for trying to help me,
My sincere regards,
