I wouldn’t try it. If you spill gasoline on the exchaust (or any other hot surface) you risk igniting it.
EDIT: According to Briggs & Stratton (lawn mower manufacturer)…
To refuel, always disconnect spark plug wire and let engine cool two minutes. Gasoline spilled on hot engine could cause flash fire.

Absolutely, just be sure its turned off before you open the tank.

To the last guy, some people have big yards…. with a tiny tank filled to the top, they can still run out and need a refuel (note that heavier grass will cause more gas consumption)
I would recommend a 2 minute cool down, the other guy is right, lawn cutting services do this all the time….. BUT they know what they are doing and have done this thousands of times.
Just go inside and get a glass of water ( preferably right from the tap… ice cold water is bad after coming in after that hot work) and go back to it.
