No.
Fortunately, there is nothing we can do to affect the Sun---if all the nuclear weapons in the world were exploded in or on the Sun, it would be the energy equivalent to a small solar flare on the surface. The effect would be unnoticable.
If we could affect the Sun, it would probably be a bad idea. To correct for global warming, you would want to turn down the heat of the Sun by only a little bit. And you definitely wouldn't want to make a mistake and turn it down more, possibly creating a permanent ice age.

um yeah since the sun has nothing to do with "global warming" lets blame the sun!
(you're Republican aren't you?)
Global warming is the resulting affect of the accumulation of excess amounts of green house gases as a by product of the over industrialization and unhealthy dependency on fossil fuels.
Think of the Earth as a baked potato. The sun is the oven and it's temperature does not change. The Earth is the potato read to absorb the heat. Green house gases is the aluminum foil. It traps, collects, and even focuses the heat to bake the spud.
Now is the spud was getting too hot would you blow up the oven? Or remove it from the foil?

Since the Sun IS a nuke, that would not even work. But you could put shades in orbit to cut down on how much sunlight reaches the Earth. This has actually been proposed at least once.

What makes you think nuking the sun would have any kind of effect. The sun by itself is always undergoing thermonuclear reactions, that's the source of its heat in the first place. The sun's yield is 9.15 ×10^10 megatons per second, what is 50 megatons going to do? Answer, jack squat.

Assuming for some absurd reason you are serious, firing a nuke at the Sun would be like firing a potato gun at an express train- never ever gonna do the slightest thing to it.

What are you talking about?
The sun has been nuking iself since the beginning of the solar system!!!
It's like putting a lit match in a building that's already burning!!! You would not even notice it!!!

it will have the effect of throwing a very small stick into a very large fire,
The sun produces so much nuclear energy that all the nukes on earth would not change it's power by much. the increase, if any, will be negligible and for a very short duration.

The sun is a giant nuclear reaction, why would sending a little nuclear weapon do anything to it. That's something like throwing a spark at a forest fire... it wouldn't even notice.
If you were able to succeed in destroying our sun we would all die quite quickly without the heat and other energy.

Impossible.
The nuke would explode or melt long before it reached the sun.

one nuke on our sun would not have any effect on our sun, the sun produces more energy every few seconds that a single nuke explosion would cause,
