Could you rephrase that? What are you referring to? Are you asking how to look at a VI? For that you need LabVIEW. Do you actually have LabVIEW? Or, do you think there's something more beyond the block diagram. If so, there isn't. The block diagram is the code. There's no C behind the curtains.

Depends on the VI. All the shipping examples (Help>Find Examples) have a block diagram (the code part) that can be viewed. Some of the functions on the functions palette are VIs with block diagrams and some a basic functions that you cannot view the code. Programs written by someone else may have the block diagram password protected or removed. Your question is a little like 'how high is up?'.

Based on your question, you may not know what a block diagram or function palette is. You really should start at http://www.ni.com/academic/lv_training/how_learn_lv.htm and at the very least, take the 3 hour introductory class so you can ask the correct question and understand the answer.
