NO!!!! The fuse is your safety device. Never replace a smaller fuse with a larger fuse.
Another answerPeople who have done that in the past have burned down their homes. Changing from a 20 amp to 30 amp fuse puts 50% more current through the wire, overheats the wire and can result in fire.Don't do it. As the above post explains, the fuse is your safety device.

The above answers are dead on. Remember the fuse protects the wiring from overheating and catching on fire. A 20 amp fuse is used on 12 gage wire and a 30 amp fuse is used on 10 gage wire which is must larger. Never mix them up.
