If you have one of those boxes with ARM processor, then most likely your only option is to remote acces(VNC) to box that is capable  running windows or wine. Ofc. this won't exactly answer your question. But i thought i should anyway mention this.

This is a common question and one you should have thought about before getting you chrome thingamajig.
I hope when you say Chrome OS you mean you have a Chromebook. In which case, irrespective of the fact that it runs a Linux variety, you won't be able to run any generic executable on it.
You could hack up a way for your executable to write result and get instructions from you cloud account but that is the best you will get, to the best of my knowledge.
