Well first thing's first: You would disintegrate. At the temperature of the Sun, most of the molecules that make up our bodies could not even survive, that is why we would not only fry and die, we would really disintegrate (all the molecules breaking apart, leaving only loose atoms).
Let's now pretend heat doesn't exist. This is what would happen. First, we must remember that there is no solid surface to the Sun just like there is no surface to Uranus.
As soon as you reached the Sun itself, you would sink. The sun's density is less than 1 — and 1 is the density of water. So you would be sucked inside kind of. Except that there are convection currents. If we happen to be just above one, we might be kept close to the surface.
But, eventually, the eddies would entrain us sideways until we came to a "downdraft" that would take us downwards.
Anyway, let's talk about gamma rays now. Gamma rays are a form of light.
So even though heat is out of the way, all of these light rays are now trying to tear up whatever remaining molecules we have. This could trigger nuclear reactions.
Eventually, you (not me, I'm out of there) would cycle between two layers, in a convection cell moving you up and down, above and below the depth where the density of the gas is the same as the density of your body.
So I guess there's one sure thing about all of this.
You're going to need some sunscreen.
