The code for rand is NOT available to you (or to anyone else.) Unless of course, you can manage to get a job offer at the MathWorks.
Nothing stops you from researching the ideas behind pseudo-random number generation tools like rand. They have come a long way over the years though, through much diligent research. Don't just use the first simple congruential random number generator and expect good results.

If you look at http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/math/creating-and-controlling-a-random-number-stream.html then it has references to all of the supported random number generators.
