The main reason you may have hot water in your toilet is a bad flapper in the toilet tank or a bad fill valve. either one of these can allow the water to seep into the tank. when you have a mixing valve on your toilet to prevent condensation, some hot water is introduced into the cold water line to warm the water just a little, but when the water just seeps a little at a time the hot water dominates the cold and you get a tank of hot water.
The solution: replace the flapper and/or change the fill valve
Here are links on how to do this:

Some toilets are plumbed to have hot water to help with sweat concerns if your bathroom is in a central area of your house. You'll need to follow your pipes down to your cellar to see if it is filling with hot only. If both hot and cold are being used, might be able to shut off the hot. If only hot is used, you'll have to plumb from the cold water. Good luck!

The only way hot water is going to a toilet is someone plumbed it wrong. It can be at the bathroom or fartherdown the line from the water heater. Take it from me, if a professional did it they owe you a free repair, Hot and cold reversed is something that happens some times.

Stop drinking so much water.....Seriously, some toilets have a mixing valve, probably in the basement, that feeds a mixture of hot and cold water into the toilet tank. This was done to stop the tank from sweating, or condensating on the outside. Apparently the cold side is clogged, or the cold side needs to be increased and the hot side decreased. If the toilet has an insulated tank, shut the hot side off completely.

Is this in a new house? Did you have any plumbing work done? You have a loop (mix of hot and cold water) in your plumbing system.

you probably have a hot water valve as well as a cold.you should be able to turn it down or off.hot or warm water going to the toilet prevents the tank from sweating and potentially ruining your bathroom floor. cold water only on hot humid days will make your tank sweat,adjust hot water supply according to the seasons.

Your toilet supply pipe is a hot water line, you need to trace it back to a "cold" pipe and re-run the line. Someone has mixed it up during construction or re-modeling. Kind of a big job if your walls are already drywalled over!! SORRY!!
