1. C# and Java are both "compiled languages". You don't (usually) 
compile them to machine-code, but they're certainly compiled.

2. You obfuscate ANY language, compiled or not, to make it harder for a 
human to figure out what it does.

It's a lot more obvious why you'd want to obfuscate, say, JavaScript. 
(It's trivial for anybody to read the source code.) But I'm sure a quick 
Internet search will turn up software that can transform machine code 
back into valid C or C++ source code. (It won't be identical to the 
original of course - THAT is provably impossible - it it'll be vaguely 
readable.)
