First of all, I think you meant by DLLs when you said "assembly". As assembly is a term used in .NET for a distributable and it can be either an exe or a dll.
So if you are using a third party DLL and you want to kind of dissolve it in your exe, as Santosh said, the answer is "No". To build just one exe, you must have that code. Otherwise you have no choice but to distribute the DLL with your exe.

Even Exes depend on the assemblies (dlls) atleast the .net Dlls which are required to run the app.. and no harm in carrying dlls required to run the exe..
Unless you dont have source code you could not make exe out of dll and that too in order to make a dll an exe, you need to have a starting point of exection for that..
