.exe are meant to be run in windows only Android uses .apk I could answer if you asked the opposite but it is not possible if you want to run .exe in your device you can root your phone and install os that runs some of .exe in dual boot.

you may use app for Android that emulates x86 system hardware, run DOS or Windows under it and run an exe-file in this virtual machine environment. if you need to run DOS exe-file it's enough to use any DOSBox app for Android (aDosBox, anDosBox etc), but if you want to run Windows and exe-file for Windows there are such emulators as QEMU, Bochs or other based on them. if you have android device with x86 CPU, you can install Linux OS in chroot environment, so it will be work in parallel with Android, and run Windows programs using Wine. But if your device is ARM-based this trick will not work.
