Is possible to come back from wexBim to IFC?

I'm looking to edit the wexbim file online(webpage based) and export it again to an IFC readable format.

No, because Wexbim is only a geometry format. It contains no meaningful semantic data, only an encoded form of the following data: the entity type, the entity label, a mesh & styles.

You should be able to convert the geometry back into some form of IfcRepresentation but you'd need to correlate it with some semantic data to make a useful IFC. The Cobie* formats might be a useful starting point for this.
