Learn assembly language. The stack is completely accessible in it's entirety, from the first item you push onto it until the 2000,000th item, at any time. The only reason higher level languages don't grant you access to modify those other stack locations is because people like you need training wheels. This is because you're incapable of understanding the actual logical layout of the stack. Like I said earlier, it's better for you (you specifically) to imagine the stack as a black box, like you did with your truly profound "hurp derp one side" conceptually constipated turd-blossom.
