Maybe this question will sound stupid to you, but i just started to learn C++ so i don't know much about it. If you know how to do it, please answer. And one more question, how do you put text in if statements instead of numbers? E.g.
if (x == 10)
cout << 25 << endl;
Now, how can i enter some word instead of 10?

.exe is a compiled file. You need to get the source code of the application.

If the application is open source, then wherever you got the original executable from.

Use speech-marks.
e.g.
Code:
if (x == "ten")
Some free c++ programming books.

Code:
if (x == "ten")
I think using strcmp is more appropriate

You can't make changes to an executable (well, technically you could, if you disassemble it, etc.).
You need to have the source code for it. That's why many people like open source software -- the source code is available, hence the name "open source".
And if you're talking about an .exe file, it's presumably a Windows binary. Even if you have the source code for it, you may not be able to build it for linux/maemo, without some porting work.

Use strcmp to compare strings, e.g.
if (strcmp(x, "ten") == 0)

The gtk/glib or qt libraries also have a lot of utility functions (string handling, parsing, etc.). Check them out.
C/C++ by itself does not provide that much functionality in the standard libraries (compared to python).
