I am the first post, please help, how to edit the Eu2.exe?

[unmerged(222151)]

I played eu2 many years, and never found how to edit the Eu2.exe.

I want to modify the colony population growth, make it higher, how to do it?

I also want to change the religious conversion chance or colony chance?

What can I do?
I searched many web site, but no one say it.

You can´t. The source code has not been released for everyone as far as I know.

However if you want to have Europa Universalis II with more options and settings to change - then try For the Glory

In FtG you can modify the stability costs for each religion in religions.txt so you can alter that if you don´t like the stability cost.
#stability_cost = X.XX Cost of each not state religion province of this religion when computing global stability cost (default is 25.00 if not specified). Cost is doubled for predominant state religions if the religion of the province is not in the same religious group.

Edit:
And for your first question about population growth - you can modify that in FtG too:
_PROV_POPGRWTH_COT_ = 5.0 #Positive
_PROV_POPGRWTH_COTN_ = 2.0 #Positive
_PROV_POPGRWTH_MANUFACTORY_ = 2.0 #Positive
_PROV_POPGRWTH_CITYRIGHTS_ = 1.0 #Positive
_PROV_POPGRWTH_COLONY_ = 5.0 #Positive
_PROV_POPGRWTH_ENEMY_ = -15.0 #Negative
_PROV_POPGRWTH_SIEGE_ = -5.0 #Negative
_PROV_POPGRWTH_OCCU_ = -3.0 #Negative
_PROV_POPGRWTH_LOOTED_ = -5.0 #Negative
_PROV_POPGRWTH_MINIMUM_ = -14.0 #Negative
_PROV_POPGRWTH_STAB_ = 4.0 #Positive
