I bought a RC Helicopter and I'm just wondering that it's possible to be reprogrammed or not? If can how to do that? I know this question sounds ridiculous. :) Thanks for replying

1It depends on if the robot/device *can* be reprogrammed. Most consumer devices/toys cannot trivially be reprogrammed (although there are always exceptions) - usually "enthusiast" lines of devices are created to support hacking/programming. – user2864740 Feb 12 '14 at 09:36

What do you mean reprogrammed?
If you want to make the remote control a light instead of a motor, the answer is yes. If you mean add any intelligence to the toy, the answer is no.
If you are interested in programming, building robots etc, look into microcontrollers. The Arduino is a great one for young enthusiasts.

Some parts of the RC helicopter you can reprogrammed like the ESC, and the main circuit board always can't reprogrammed. Of course, there was exception, for some beta version, most of the board you can reprogrammed in limitted range
