No - though there are several major Solar Observatories in Space that keep a constant watch on the Sun (primarily for sunspots, solar flares, and other activity that directly affect us here on Earth), nothing can actually "land" on the surface of the Sun, since it is a giant ball of burning gas. Helios2, a non-functioning solar probe (one of 2 Helios probels) holds the record for the closest orbit of the Sun, just inside the orbital path of Mercury.
At some point in the future, a probe may be designed to dropped into the Sun to send back readings (similar to Jupiter's Galileo mission) before its destruction, but there has to be a good reason (both scientifically and financially), and so far there is no reason to do so.
