It depends on the game. With most games, you can't get a model or texture out of the game without doing some complex stuff with something like OpenGL extractor. With games like Half-Life 2, though, they have released SDKs that include the game's models, and should also probably include import/export tools so you can get them into Maya.

For Half-Life 2, the SDK already includes the models. This website (http://mitglied.lycos.de/prallvamp/) shows you how to get the stuff into Maya.

You always need to own a game to import the models. I don't believe Dawn of War allows you to take their models and textures from their game.
