No, they can't fix the oil spills because oil can't dissolve in the water for example sugar can but oil can't.

I wish that answered your question. <- This is actually not a helpful answer as the question never asked if oil could dissolve in water or not. The question was if "they" could fix the oil spill.

The answer is yes and no. They are currently trying to redirect the pipes containing the oil by sawing through it and putting a plug that leads to another reservoir. The no part is that it is impossible to undo the damages done by the oil spill as it has already drastically affected the ecosystems around the Gulf.
