Question: When the sun has used up all of the hydrogen in its core, would it be possible for humans to create enough hydrogen to fuel the sun and to keep it in its stable state?
I think this would be very unlikely. I believe we are not currently able to create hydrogen. And even if we could, to get so much would be difficult as the sun is pretty big and to feed it to the without disturbing its natural fission reaction would be pretty hard.
No, we have no idea how to produce that much hydrogen. The Sun contains 99.8% of the mass in the Solar System. We would not have nearly enough hydrogen on Earth to make even a tiny fraction of what the sun would need!
No
But good news everyone… once the hydrogen has all been fused, the sun will start fusing Helium3 and then Lithium and so on until it runs out of fuel.
