I Was Wondering Im Wanting To Port My Copy Of Castlevania SOTN On PS1 To DS Is There A Way To Get The Source Code Back Thanks...

There is no way to get the source code for any commercial game without contacting the author, in this case, Konami. Since Konami is a company that makes profit from the Castlevania series (and still does today), it is safe to say they will never give you the source code. They are making Castlevania DS, a new game, not a remake.

However, if you want, you can try to create the game from scratch. If you do so Konami will force you to stop or face a lawsuit. Castlevania is Konami?s intellectual property and it is copyrighted. You should try to create an original game instead.

Go make your own vampire-whipping game from scratch, but don't use Konami's maps or graphics and don't call it Castlevania. This board is designed for original game implementations, not ports of proprietary software on other platforms.
