I'm not sure there is much you can do. Does it affect thing sound? How big is the dent?

Is the wood unfinished?? You can try steaming it out with a clothes iron. Drop filling with CA or clear epoxy can hide it pretty well too. It will look like part of the grain once finished.
If its on a finished uke.....I'm not sure what you could do.

I've steamed them out of finished instruments but you have to creep up on it slowly. I placed several damp paper towels over the dent and used an iron. Personally, I think dents and scratched give instruments character.
