No, it is not a good idea to put lemon juice on a burn. While the cooling effect might feel good momentrily, the skin at the burn site is already damaged, and the last thing you need is an acid on it.

Treatment for burns is an extensive topic covered under other questions on this site. However, for minor burns, avoid administering any creme, gel, goo, etc. Wrap the wound in a clean, dry bandage and leave it be (applies to first degree and minor second degree burns). When a blister forms, leave it be until it pops on its own. Then carefully treat as an open wound.
