You can't always "decompile" the code to something sensible. Decompilers work based on (generally) pattern matching what a compiler would generate. If you change assembly sequences you can break a decompiler. So no, you can't *always* decompile it, for most definitions of what a "decompiler" is. (And they're usually tuned to a specific compiler's output.)
Decompilation is a tricky process. Usually disassembly is really all you need, and you can obviously always do that.
