The safest place to find one is going to be on Source Forge or GitHub, but there may be other free ones out there, but please check out reviews on a well known and reputable site if doing that. To learn more Google about understanding the structure of Windows executables or exe files. Luckily for us, you’re already familiar with both of them. The easiest way to understand base 16 is to understand bases 60 and 10.
Base 16 is a number system with the number 16 as the base, hence the name. It’s a little confusing, but we’ll do our best to explain. That said editing it when you don't know what you're doing, will also mess it up. The hex in hex editor is short for hexadecimal, which is a base-16 number system. The advice of some of the other commenters is right it's better to use a hex editor instead of a text editor, because those are designed to handle every type of file, and won't corrupt the file because it misunderstands how to handle it. That's why doing this opening in Notepad is not usually wise. Remember - even if you add or remove something and then put it back, it will still corrupt the file. This is because Notepad doesn't understand the structure of EXE program files. It's a fun thing to try when starting out, but please bear in mind that the EXE file that you open, can't be displayed correctly, and if ANY change is made in notepad, if you save the file, it will destroy (corrupt) the EXE program and it won't work anymore.
