No way to access component metadata of Managed Package via Metadata API?!

Is there a chance to access the metadata (custom objects, fields, page layouts) of managed packages?

 

I was trying to open such a managed package in the Force IDE and the migration toolkit, but none of the managed components could be accessed.

 

I know managed packages are supposed to protect intelectual property, but when cutomer indeed can customizes components of a managed app why can they not do this via the metadata Api?

Yes it's possible. What are you trying to accomplish?
