No, thousands of degrees of heat are required to melt gold. A regular stovetop cannot melt gold. Gold melts at about 1064 degrees Celsius (1948 Fahrenheit). While a regular stovetop won't get that hot, there are tabletop smelters that will go above two thousand degrees Fahrenheit. Part of the issue is that gold can be softened at temperatures quite a bit lower than it's melting point, similar to butter, but not really. So mostly it depends what you're trying to do.
