The only decompiler that I know of is VB Studio. You can disassemble a program and edit it. Then you can recompile it when you are done. The disassembled program will be somewhat different than the original, because it is "compressed" and some of the sloppy code is tightened. There are no comments and randomized variables are created. Still, it can make code easier to work with if you don't have the source file anymore. The other benefit to VB Studio is that it can cross port the software into other type of code too (Visual C, Visual Java, etc.) It's a bit costly if you don't already have it though. Microsoft states the retail around 1200 or so.
