you could not install a windows programs directly. There are some softwares are available like Wine,Crossover Linux etc.. you can download it from Internet as .deb file and you could install it via terminal using the following command.
To install a downloaded .deb file:
sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
To remove a installed package:
sudo dpkg -r packagename
Or directly you can install wine via terminal by following commands.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.6 winetricks
