Is it possible to copy a sketch from another microcontroller  to your pc to edit

[Reply #1 on:]

Sort of, but not really. Given enough effort you can get the binary machine code off the chip and into a PC editor, but (A) it won't be easy, and (B) it won't be pretty.

What you're asking for is the equivalent of saying "here's a cake; how can I get the eggs back out".

Getting the machine code back out is easy with atmel studio or avrdude if you have an isp programmer. There's no way to get the c code back though

Not really - he doesn't want the eggs, he wants the cake recipe.
