I don't think so you can melt sugar [solid] to sugar [liquid] under ordinary conditions.I think it is possible under reduced pressure.Normally when you heat or burn sugar you will get black Carbon
C12H22O11----------------12C+11H2O
The above reaction normally occurs on heating
If you still heat it you will get Carbon-dioxide
12C+12O2------------12CO2

Unless you take great care to get complete combustion, you get a foul stench when you burn it.
Technically, you cannot melt it since it is a supercooled liquid, and is already melted. Heating it will enable it to flow faster (like glass) as long as you don't reach a temperature to start decomposition, in which case you get caramel
