That is not possible like how you can in a web application, however there are some tools that can help you.
WPF Snoop
Used to inspect WPF application rather like 'Inspect Element' in a webpage. After inspection, pressing ALT+SHIFT will higlight what element is under the mouse and show you its name. Then you can search for that name in Visual Studio to find the class to edit.
See https://github.com/snoopwpf/snoopwpf
Visual Studio XAML Inspector
The microsoft version of the above 'Live Visual Tree Inspector' now built into Visual Studio and compatible with .NET Core 3.0 as well as .NET Framework.
