How do people make patches for closed source software from outside its software company/devs?

You see this with some apps (I think ReVanced is a popular example?) and games occasionally, and I’ve never been clear on how they do it.

Are the tools involved typically called decompilers, or would you happen to know the different names they may go by? Trying to make sure I have some solid terms to guide my own research. Thanks for the response!
