Yes, you would be disqualified for doing so. This is because you are changing the playability of the Golf ball, which means it no longer conforms to the rules of golf.
Not!
You cannot heat or cool the ball DURING play. Preconditioning the ball prior to
the round is ok. You are not going to affect the ball enough to change it's
rules conformity. You've probably heard it's not a good idea to leave graphite
shafted clubs in cold conditions. Well, bringing them in the house is preconditioning, right? It's ok.
I leave my golf balls on a heat register the previous day and over night if I'm
going to play a cold round.
