Most probably you can't. WinCE doesn't really have anything in common with
Windows 95/NT other than its looks..
most often you dont have any intel x86 chip in the CE-machines, and thats what
you need to run x86 programs (duh) like a68k and/or TASM.
But ofcourse it is very possible to make a tasm/a68k equivalent to put on your
palmtop.. lot of work though.. and it feels a bit strange.. learn to program one
small cumputersystem in order to use that to program another small computer
system :)
