No, StackExchange and StackOverflow are not open-source software. However, you can pay a fee to use the stackexchange software on your own site1.
Alternatively, google for "open-source stackoverflow clone", which should give you a free alternative.
1 Apparently, stackexchange offers the first 45 days free as a trial

@Jitendra the first google result I came up with is anantgarg.com/qwench, which is hosted on github for you at github.com/anantgarg/Qwench– a_m0dFeb 26, 2010 at 0:47
You should see the list of SO clones, some of which are open source, developed on the language the OP liked the most (Python, Ruby, PHP, ASP.Net).
You cannot download the source. Those sites are hosted by the Stack Exchange platform.
