Jeffrey K say: We can't change sunlight. But we can block it with suntan lotion or opaque materials or the ozone layer

Climate Realist say: The only thing that we can do is protect the ozone layer.

duke_of_urls say: We augment our genetics. No need to change the Sun or its radiation.
After we get control of our own genetics, people will all want to be the same color.
Dark green.
On a day of sunshine, remove your clothes and let your chlorophyll add to your energy!

YKhan say: The Sun is just a big dumb nuclear reactor, it's going to be producing the radiation it's producing no matter what. It produces a bit more of some of it, and a bit less of others of it, but it's going to producing all ranges of radiation no matter what. The only thing you can do is use protective shielding against it. For the most part, the Earth's atmosphere is our primary shielding. Then the rest comes from living in our homes, wearing our clothes, wearing protective sunscreens at the beach, etc.

Sherwood Forrester say: We don't. We can only change how we respond to it.

Lord Bacon say: We can't change the sun's radiation.
The ozone layer, high in the atmosphere, filters out a lot of the harmful, cancer causing radiation. We can help keep the ozone layer healthy by not using chlorofluorocarbon chemicals that go up into the atmosphere and destroy the ozone layer. We caused damage in the past and the ozone layer is now slowly recovering.
Our only other defences are to reduce the amount of harmful sunlight that penetrates our skin. We can do this by sheltering from the sun, especially in the middle of the day, by wearing clothes that block the sunlight and by wearing sun creams that block the harmful parts of the sun's spectrum.

Nancy say: We already do. It's called suntan lotion. We've got chemicals we can apply to our skin that changes the sun's radiation so that it still allows the radiant light and warmth in but not what harms our skin and gives us skin cancer.
