How to make an arbitrary application trust my SSL certificate?

I have installed charles (or any other mitm proxy), installed its certificate as root CA, run proxy 127.0.0.1:8889.
However, simple requests.get ('https://stackoverflow.com/') in python does not work, it gives an error certificate verify failed. The charles documentation suggests source code forcing to trust the certificate. session.verify = "charles-ssl-proxying-certificate.pem". Likewise with browsers, instructions are on https: https://www.charlesproxy.com/documentation/using-charles/ssl-certificates/
But what if I want to see https traffic of arbitrary .exe? I don’t have access to its sources, and it doesn’t provide any means for importing certificates (like browsers).

Have you tried to install the fake certificate as root certificate on the underlying operating system ?
