Can corrupted m-files be fixed?

I have recovered some of my m-files after formatting my partitions.
But sadly, found them corrupted. Is there anyway to fix them?
Thanks.
Edited: The code becomes like the attached image.

No. If any byte has been lost in an M or MAT file, the contents is destroyed and cannot be recreated with a 100% reliability. If the files have been lost due to a crashed hard disk, I would not even trust in files which look fine on first view. To control this, I store an MD5 checksum in each of my M-files.
The solution is to restore the files from the last backup. All changes since the last backup are lost. If you do not have a backup: Sorry. There is no magic way to reinvent the destroyed data. It is hard, but the general rule is:
All files without a current backup are not important.
Sometimes professional services can save data from crashed hard disks. This costs about 500 to 1500 US$ and the success is not guaranteed.

One quick way to make a backup, as Rik Wisselink suggested, is to copy your files to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. or even to a USB key periodically.
If you're using release R2014b or later, a more sophisticated way to back up your code (and allow you to go back to any previous version you've checked in) would be to use the source control integration functionality included in MATLAB to make a Subversion or Git repository.
