Is it possible to access or download my code that is running on Google App Engine? For instance, say my hard drive crashes and I have not saved my code on any kind of external repository. Is there any way to recover?

No, it is not possible. You compile your code on your machine and ship up the compiled code.
If you have a source repository, always make sure that you have a backup.
GAE does not have a mechanism for you to download your binaries, so reverse engineering them is not possible except from your own copies.
Of course you could always host your project on GitHub or SourceForge
