You can always learn! You're just a few books away from the knowledge.

I think the raw reverse engineering knowhow generally comes from reading and writing low level code and reverse engineering other people's.

Atop of that you also need understanding of computer architecture, for which I vaguely recommend Hen.&Pat. but again you get this knowledge by playing around mainly.

A bit of compiler design would help too if you want to write one of these - Engineering a compiler is a good one.
