I've never had to do what you're asking before but here's what I'd do:
1. refuse to work on it unless the original developer is fired for deleting the source.
2. use reflector to decompile it.
3. load up the source in VS. you might have to make a new project and then manually merge in the decompiled code.
4. make whatever changes are required to the source and rebuild.
5. add the code into some form of source control repository.
6. give the new executable to the client.

You don't have to run the service and connect into it to change it. I don't even know what that means. After you've rebuilt the service all you have to do is stop the instance that's running on the clients computer, overwrite the existing executable file with your new one and restart the service.

Decompiling the executable won't change the behavior of the program so modifying it and recompiling should be ok. Working with the decompiled source code may be more difficult than working with the original but if the original developer was ignorant enough to delete it in the first place then the decompiled version might be an improvement.

Good Luck.
