Is it possible for the Cassini to take and send some final pictures while entering the surface of Saturn, right before (or maybe even during) it's burning to ash?

While the spacecraft is burning it generally has a communications blackout. This is caused by the hot plasma around it behaving like a black body: it not only emits in all frequencies, but also absorbs all electromagnetic waves.

Unlike the Galileo probe, Cassini doesn't have a heat shield or a parachute. During burn up it will be completely destroyed, so we will never get any more signals from it after the blackout starts.
