Hello, how can Kruskal's algorithm be modified to run in O(n^2) time in a dense graph of n nodes??

This seems well explained and it has cpp code.
Why do you need Kruskal for such a task? Prim have your desired complexity, and is not much harder to implement compare to Kruskal.
I am thinking that since Kruskal is usually faster to implement from scratch compared to Prim, the OP was hoping for an easy modification to Kruskal to achieve O(N^2) time complexity on dense graphs so that he could use it in more contexts during contests.
What does OP mean?

It's the same as O(V^2 + E) dijkstra, just linearly search for smallest cost vertex that hasn't been visited yet.
Edit: I meant prim
