Please search for "obfuscation" on your favorite search engine.

Nope.

Short answer: It is not possible!
Ultimately, your exe will be executed by the processor, and anything executed by processor can be decoded.
decoding an exe is difficult for the amateur, the novice, the young padawan, but not for the professional with right tools.

Thank you
No, as ppolymorphe has said.
In order to run your app, the system needs to be able to read it - which means that the instructions it is made of must be understandable. And if the system can understand it, so can a programmer, even if it my be difficult.

You can obfuscate[^] your code to make it harder to understand, but you can't fully stop it being understood if someone wants to put enough effort into it.
