This is a very, very basic and simplistic explanation:

It is important to understand that when a star becomes a star it is not burning gases, it is fusing atoms. Pressure is so great at the core, these atoms behave more like a super liquid than free atoms or a gas. Currently, our sun, Sol, is at a stage when it is fusing hydrogen at the core. The product of fusing hydrogen is helium. When Sol reaches the tipping point when its hydrogen is used up, it will begin fusing helium at the core. In turn it will fuse oxygen and carbon. Heavier and heavier elements will result from the fusion process. Eventually, the outward pressure of the reaction in Sol's core will surpass the collapsing pressure and Sol will expand to a red giant and eventually a planetary nebula.

When the sun turns into a red giant and reaches the gas planets could it use them as fuel to keep burning?

No, the Sun would not be able to use gas planets as fuel to keep burning because the fusion processes that power stars occur in their cores, not on their surfaces. The gas giants, like Jupiter and Saturn, are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases, which are not suitable for sustaining nuclear fusion in the way that hydrogen is in the Sun's core.
