Yes. A tornado is not a solid object; it is mostly air. However, the violent winds would likely throw the missile off course.

Some researchers have attempted to fire instruments into tornadoes on missiles, but failed as the light missiles were tossed aside by the wind. It was suggested that a heavier missile would have better luck, but the researchers on the project could not get approval to use one.

Other than for research there would be little use in firing a missile into a tornado, as any explosive strong enough to possibly disrupt a tornado would only cause more damage.

How dangerous could a tornado get?

Tornadoes can be extremely dangerous. The most extreme case would be a large EF5 tornado with winds upwards of 200 mph striking a large population center. In such a worst case scenario thousands houses and buildings along the tornado's path will be destroyed, some completely obliterated. The pieces of the buildings would then be turned into lethal projectiles that can penetrate brick and concrete. A tornado like this would kill dozens of people, injure hundreds, even thousands, can cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.
