There is no shut off valve. But you can by pass the heater core by disconnecting the 2 hoses going to the heater core. And connecting them together. The only problem with this is that you won't have any heat in the winter.
It partly depends upon what sort of heater it is, but if it's a car heater, the valve alters the amount of hot water (from the car's cooling system) entering the heater matrix. This would also be true of a water-filled central heating system.
The hot water valve should always be open, so the hot water can exit the heater into the system. If your actually meaning opening the drain valve on the bottom of theater, the water in the heater will drain, starting with the hot water stored there, and then the cold water that is entering the tank to replace it will simplt flow out the bottom before being heated. Dpending on where the heater is located will denepnd on how much of a mess the ensuing flood will be.

Is the temperature and pressure valve leaking in your water heater?
The isolation valve should (must) be placed on the cold water side (and/or the return side), entering the water heater. Placing the isolation valve on the hot or outlet side of the water heater has the potential of creating a bomb.
Symptoms of water heater pressure relief valve failure include leaking water from the valve, excessive pressure in the water heater, and hot water not being delivered at the right temperature.
To shut off the water to the water heater, locate the shut-off valve on the cold water supply line leading to the heater. Turn the valve clockwise to close it and stop the flow of water to the heater.
The purpose of the water heater ball valve is to control the flow of water into and out of the water heater. It functions by using a spherical ball with a hole in it to regulate the flow of water through the valve. This valve is essential in the overall operation of a water heater system as it allows for the proper filling and draining of the tank, as well as for maintenance and repairs.
To turn off your water heater, locate the shut-off valve on the cold water supply line leading to the heater. Turn the valve clockwise to shut off the water flow to the heater.

Check that there isn't water around the water heater first, which would mean that turning it off and closing the water valve would be a good idea. Then, check the fuse box to see if the power has tripped--that is if it is an electric water heater.
To replace the gas control valve on a water heater, first turn off the gas supply and water supply to the heater. Then, disconnect the old gas control valve and remove it from the water heater. Install the new gas control valve in its place and reconnect the gas and water supply. Finally, test the water heater to ensure it is working properly.
