Non. There are solvents that will cause cotton to break down, thus making it dissolve, but it will no longer be cotton but the products of its decomposition that are dissolved.

Cotton is insoluble in water because it is composed mainly of cellulose, which is a complex carbohydrate polymer that does not dissolve in water. When cotton is placed in water, it does not break down or dissolve like substances such as sugar or salt would.
