No possibility. None at all.

.exe files are MS-DOS/Windows executables. .rpm's are Linux install files.

They are files for different operating systems and for different purposes.

You can use Wine to run some Windows .exe's under Linux.

What is it that you are trying to accomplish?

From the rpmbuild man page:
rpmbuild is used to build both binary and source software packages. A package consists of an archive of files and meta-data used to install and erase the archive files. The meta-data includes helper scripts, file attributes, and descriptive information about the package. Packages come in two varieties: binary packages, used to encapsulate software to be installed, and source packages, containing the source code and recipe necessary to produce binary packages.
