I already tried this, I opened a a.out file with a text editor but I get only a bunch of characters with some instructions in it like:

Executable files contain binary machine code that has been compiled from source code. This low-level code instructs a computer's central processing unit on how to run a program. The processor interprets the machine code and tells the computer's hardware what to do.
Basically, to read an Object from a file, one should follow these steps: Open a FileInputStream to the file that you've stored the Object to. Open a ObjectInputStream to the above FileInpoutStream . Use readObject method of ObjectInputStream class to read the Object from the file.
In computing, executable code, an executable file, or an executable program, sometimes simply referred to as an executable or binary, causes a computer "to perform indicated tasks according to encoded instructions", as opposed to a data file that must be interpreted (parsed) by a program to be meaningful.
Try hexdump. Something like:
$ hexdump -X a.out
It will give you just that: an hexadecimal dump of the file.
Having said that, another possibility might include using GDB's disassemble command.
