I don't think it can do so. The Dragon 2 has a delta-V of around 400 m/s, and lunar orbital velocity is around 1600 m/s - so you'd need at minimum 3200 m/s to land and take off again. The dragon would need to carry some sort of fuel+landing legs trunk to drastically increase its delta-v to even have a chance.
