any way to make the steerin' wheel easier to turn?

the one thing i find uneasy driving audi is when you are making turns the wheel is so tight and difficult to turn.

will it work if apply lubricant on the steering wheel?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. The Audi steering is very light at low speeds and gets heavier the higher the speed is.

If you have a hard time turning at low speeds i'd definitely have your power steering fluid level checked and make sure the pump isn't making any random noises.

I don't know where you'd be thinking about applying "lubricant" but maybe you can elaborate on that.

ditto on what marko said. Have your power steering system looked at if you are worried.

as the others said, have it checked out... it might just be a slight freeze in the system

I am surprised that you are having trouble. I have an Audi and a Ford, and the Audi is so much easier to steer than the Ford, and basically way easier compared to most cars I have ever driven. I would check on those fluids.
