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.

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