Save data in executable

I have a portable executable that saves data to a file in the same folder as the executable. Is there any way that I can save data into the executable itself when I close the app?

This maybe weird, but taking the data with me and only have one file for the exe and data would be great.

Would prefer if this was made with C#, but is not a requisite.

You can, by reserving space through the means of using a string resource and pad it out. You need to do a bit of detective work to find out exactly where in the offset to the executable you wish to dump the data into, but be careful, the file will be "in use", so proceed cautiously with that.
