Getting around the hard-coding wall

For Thanksgiving, my parents had a bunch of family and friends over for the holidays. One of them happens to have a PhD in computer sciences (coding,etc,etc). I was talking to him about computers, random things, and PR. I asked if you can get around hard coded things and he said that he has done it twice for an assignment. So, is it a question of "can we do it" or a question of "how much trouble can we get into"?
If we could do it, im pretty sure he would be willing to do it.

A buttload. The EULA you signed when you installed BF 2 makes it a breach of contract to reverse engineer the engine in such a way, and if you do you will get sued and promptly lose a lot of money to the rich owners of EA, and their scum sucking lawyers.

what if the guy who de codes it has never installed bf2? he hasnt signed anything, and does it say in the agreement that you cant play a game that has been modified?
