As rootboy suggested, it can be gently beaten into shape but then you would need to reinforce the area to keep the repair good. The neatest way I've seen to do this is to add a length of 3mm diameter alloy rod along the underside of the indents in the mudguard, bent to follow the form, either side of the damage.

This is a celluloid mudguard from a pre-war Evans but it shows you what's involved. You would need to use a strong glue.
