Yes. You can melt almost all metals. You just need to find the melting point (which is the temperature at which the metal melts).
Yes, applying a torch lighter to a penny can cause the metal to melt or change color, which would decrease its value as a collectible coin. It may also damage the overall integrity of the coin, affecting its appearance and potentially its ability to be used in currency.
You as a human cannot melt from heat. The worse thing is that you might get burnt. EXP: An ice cube will melt in heat...I don't think you're an ice cube!! :)
Water can melt if it transitions from a solid state, such as ice, to a liquid state due to an increase in temperature. The term "melt" refers to the change in physical state from solid to liquid, regardless of the initial form.
Ice starts to melt at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.
A 1960 pure copper penny is worth about 3 cents in copper value. However, it is illegal to melt U.S. pennies for their metal content, so the value as a collectible coin would be closer to 1 cent.
A coin would dissolve in an acid, not melt. The time taken would depend on the size of the coin, its composition, and the acid used.
You do not specify what country it is from or what the denomination is. Whatever the coin is, the melt value will be whatever the current price of gold is. Alternatively, it will probably be worth more as a collectible coin.

I deal typically with melt value, your coin is worth about $1.81 melt value with 80% silver. However, you may want to check this coin on Ebay coins to see if it is worth more as a collectible.
Mercury dimes have the mintmark (if any) on the reverse, the "W" is the designer's initials not the mintmark. If you have an "S" mintmark you have a scarce coin worth more than melt, but it depends on the grade, a "D" mintmark is somewhat scarce but with high silver prices it is not worth much more than melt if circulated (melt is ~$2). If you have no mintmark it is an incredibly common coin worth only melt unless uncirculated.
A modern one dollar coin contains no real gold at all and the melt value of the coin is currently around six cents. As long as this coin is in circulation it will continue to be worth exactly one dollar.
