The question should be, how did you get it (let's call it "document.aspx") and what did you expect it to be?
As Zyriab said, you can open a real Web Form file (.aspx), which contains HTML markup and similar stuff, with any text editor. It's what you'd do if you got it because you're working on a web page or web site which uses ASP.NET. But, if that's what you were about, then you wouldn't have need to ask.
If you got document.aspx by downloading it from a web page, and you were expecting something else, then chances are that you were served the right file, but something went wrong with code or script which was supposed to tell your browser to make up the correct name. In that case, you don't actually have an .aspx file, but something else; and what you need to do is to change the file name extension aspx.
Change it to what? To a file name extension which reflects the file's content; this will tell the operating system what application to use to open the file. We can't tell you what it should be, because we don't know what document.aspx is supposed to contain. If, for instance, you expected to get a PDF file, change the file name from "document.aspx" to "document.pdf". If you expected a JPEG pic, change aspx to jpg; and so on.
