Oh, come on. There's the good kind of can-do attitude, which is useful, and then this kind, where if you think you want something enough, anything can happen.
Consider how much effort had to go into just putting a man on the moon, and compare that to the effort required to affect the fundamental energy processes of a body in which one million Earths can fit. The two problems are many, many orders of magnitude apart. Affecting the Sun in a noticeable way is well out of our reach now, and with high probability will be for the next millennium.

Is there anyway we can affect the sun's cooling down process? Maybe it can help offset the effect of global warming somewhat.
I know it's a crazy idea. But many great inventions are borne out of crazy ideas.
Someone to take on this?

EDIT: I'm full of shit, it's 1 million
Another fun fact: the power output of the sun is 4 * 10^26 Watts.
