编译这个程序，我们发现WriteProcessMemory() 成功修改了程序自身代码，程序运行正常。
然后我们屏蔽程序中的WriteProcessMemory()调用，用/*  */之中的代码完成自我修改，
运行后会发现系统抛出异常 Access Violation.这是因为PE 中 代码节的属性默认为 0x60000020，
20 表示代码 20000000表示可执行，40000000表示可读，如果我们在此基础上加上 0x80000000(可写）
操作系统的loader在装载可执行文件时，便会将存放代码节数据的内存标记为可读，可写，可执行。
这样就不会有异常了。
读者可使用下面的程序来修改节属性：
