I need to solder couple of surface mount capcitors,but the tip is not
sharp enough.

Is there any way to do it without buying expensive tools ?

Yes, but you'll need a half decent iron with a reasonably fine tip.

Can i tie a
needle to the gun?


Gun? No, a soldering gun is not remotely suitable for soldering most circuit
boards, least of all surface mount components.

A needle is very unlikely to work either, as they are usually steel and
don't tin when soldered. Buy a soldering iron for which you can get various
tips. If you don't want to splash out on something expensive, I'd recommend
the entry level Antex mains iron, here's the UK site:

Even better is a temperature controlled iron or soldering station, but that
won't be cost effective unless you plan on doing a lot of soldering. I have
an old Weller TCP and Antex 660 TC stations and both are great. Neither are
what I'd call cheap though.
