When you spray the leaves with fungicide and pesticide should you spray the fruit too or keep it dry?

Always keep it as dry as possible. Any kind of accidental spray won't hurt anything, just make sure you're not soaking the fruit.

My pumpkins remain covered with their white sheet under an umbrella. There is some indirect spray that gets on the white sheet but for the most part I do not spray the actual pumpkin. Some products can speckle the pumpkin if applied directly to the skin. For the most part I am concerned with diseases on the leaves so that is where I apply the control products.

Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

it definitely speckles the pumpkin. :} One of mine looks like it has chicken pox, growing good, but phew! SPECKLED!
