I would strongly suggest you start (re)writing your code, as recovery of an m-file from an exe is apparently not an option. (Whether you might be able to recover some code or not I can't say.)

Next time, remember to back up your files! This experience will probably help you to remember to do that in the future. An automatic backup is a tremendously valuable tool.
