No, because photosynthesis doesn't occur in the fruit.
Explanation:
It's not that photosynthesis doesn't occur for these fruits. It's just that you're probably thinking that the color of the fruit itself has bearing on its ability to photosynthesize; that is not the case.
Leaves with chlorophyll are the ones capable of photosynthesizing, and undergo the chemical reactions to make sugar and oxygen. The fruit, once part of the plant's reproductive system, is not involved in this.
