I am looking to make some changes in squid. As of now i think squid
definitely needs hard disk to run.

Nope.

I want to know if there is any way i can run it totally on RAM?

Yes. I do that in some kinds of setups.

  null type cache_dir.

  disable all logs

  a small tmpfs filesystem for the pid file, which is not required but 
still nice to have for "squid -k" functionality.
