We always can see some files in this kind of format anywhere on PC. What is it? Did somebody know what softwares can be used to change a file into that format?

DAT files are used by many different applications. To know what to do with a DAT file, you need to know what application created it.

It can be just about anything: text, graphic, or general binary data. There is no specific structure for a .DAT file. You can use an editor like EditPad Pro to look inside a .DAT file and possible determine its contents and relationship with a program.
