No, not quite. Dissolving something in water does not break the chemical bonds of the molecule*. You still have NaClNaCl molecules floating about. That would leave you with elemental sodium and elemental chlorine, and those two fellows are a bit like drunk bikers. Mixing sodium, chlorine and water will produce all sorts of things like sodium hypochorite (NaClONaClO, best known as bleach), sodium hydroxide (NaOHNaOH - caustic soda) and some lesser-known chlorine compounds. Many are rather dangerous, and I don't think we would have survived as a lifeform if a bit of salt on our food turned into bleach (which destroys DNA) after a Perrier chaser.
