Marvel has always been about half assed explanations and dumb geek logic.
Ok...
Comics are retarded and the writer has things happen however they want, doesn't matter if it makes sense or not.
Reprogramming something in machine language on the fly like that would require Reed Richard level of intelligence. I don't really X-Men that much, but is Magneto in the "super science" level of intelligence?

You just need to change kill(mutants) to kill(!mutants). The tricky part is figuring out where to put the not.

Computer science.
He could at most short-circuit them by simply moving around the solderings in a circuit board. But to reprogram them on the fly he would need something like an Antman and a tiny-sized engineer collaborating with him, going inside a Sentinel, reporting what he sees and telling him where to move what.
It does matter you're just a retard and decide to turn your brain off.
This is print("hello world") in x86 assembly on a msvc chip. Pretty much as close as you get to 0101s as a human programmer.
push ebp
mov ebp, esp
push OFFSET $SG5558
call _printf
add esp, 4
xor eax, eax
pop ebp
ret 0
Format is messed up and I actually had a total of 75 lines outputted. So its going to to be even more broken down into binary if mags is playing with it.
Point is don't think about it and just relax, its a comic book. Its the same way lightly clad females don't die and guys with big guns don't fuck themselves when firing.

And I'm happy while you're miserable.
