Is there any way to install a C++ compiler or Ruby/Python interpreter on WinRT. (or is there any other way to program in a language beside JavaScript and beside online compilers and IDEs)
To be more specific: Can I program USING MY WinRT NOT FOR WinRT. SO can I open an app or notepad ON WinRT and than compile the code ON WinRT (NOT "FOR" but "using"). Thx.

You can use PascalABC.NET, it runs on the Surface RT with Windows 8/8.1 on test mode, and it also runs on the Surface RT upgraded to Windows 10 (yes, there is such thing). PascalABC.NET is quite common in Russia and regarding your question: yes you can run, design and code on the RT, and even build .exe files.
A Windows RT-based device cannot download or install Windows Store apps or updates for Windows Store apps.
The word jailbreak was used only for the Apple devices until Microsoft launched the Surface RT tablet and now this device shares the same word with almost same work. Jailbreaking the Surface RT will let you install unsigned apps available outside of the market, similar to Cydia for iPhone.
Windows RT is a deprecated mobile operating system developed by Microsoft. It is a version of Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 built for the 32-bit ARM architecture (ARMv7).
You're looking for an IDE (integrated development environment) that would run on Windows RT (ARM based) devices and allow you to compile programs for other target platforms? While there're no technical restrictions for such an app, there don't seem to be any in the store at the moment. The only one to feature a Ruby interpreter seems to be InstantRuby, though it doesn't look like you could actually create a program with it.
There are multiple code editors already available though (in no particular order as I haven't tried any of them yet):
