No, you can't. When your opponent announces that they're casting Molten Disaster, you can't do anything until the moment it's already on the stack and it's paid for with mana obtained by tapping lands. It doesn't really matter if it has split second or not.
Since Molten Disaster is a sorcery, one thing you could do is casting Mind Games during their upkeep (or draw step). They would have to wait until the main phase before they can cast sorceries, and mana pools empty at the end of each step and phase. Of course, this would assume you know they have Molten Disaster (e.g. via Telepathy) and not enough lands to cast it otherwise.

No, you can't do that.
Casting a spell follows this basic process:
- The player puts the card on the stack.
- They make all choices for that spell, including targets, additional costs, etc.
- They pay for the spell.
During this process, nobody is allowed to cast spells, activate abilities, or do anything at all really — the exception is that the player can activate mana abilities while casting their spell to pay for it.
Only after this process does any player gain priority, allowing them to cast spells and activate abilities. The player who cast the spell gets priority first, then they can pass priority to the next player in turn order, and so on. (For more details on priority see In plain English, how does casting spells and using creature abilities work with the stack and priority?.)
This means that by the time you are able to cast spells in response to your opponent casting Molten Disaster, it has already been fully paid for. It is too late to tap down their lands. (Plus it's on the stack now, so you can't cast spells right now at all!)
If you did want to tap down their lands, they can just activate them for their mana in response anyway while your spell is still on the stack, and use that mana right afterwards.
