It would be like getting the egg yolk back after you made scrambled eggs. The most often attempted separation is isolating (or removing) vocals. This can be done sometimes if the vocals are panned to centre in a stereo track but no stereo reverb has been added. If only an instrument is centred such as the drums, you can sometimes remove or isolate the drums. You will normally expect distortions if you remove or isolate the centre. This page in the Manual has some information about the issues: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_vocal_removal_and_isolation.html . Robert has written a tool that can perform centre removal or isolation: http://forum.audacityteam.org/download/file.php?id=8098 .
