Need help with Linux Mint!

Ok so I read Johnny post a thread saying that you can run any Windows applications on Linux by using wine. I need some help with this. I currently have dual-programs or whatever you call it. I have Windows and Linux in the same computer. I want to know if there's a way I could possibly transfer my programs for example: (Ares) to linux. help would be greatly appreciated. (also, i don't know the password to make applications on linux. if anyone could tell me how to make a new one, greatly appreciated.)
