doubtful its been pulled well out
paint not cracked already?
you could try a piece of wood behind wrapped in a towel and hit the lump with a clean rubber mallet but i dont think perfection would rule

what did you do to do that? 
you didnt force entry into your bonnet did you cause the bonnet cable snapped?
but as s and b says doubt itd look perfect even what he suggested it would be a bonnet off job, straighten it out grind it back to bare metal and respray. and if you're a novice to all of that it'll cost you a fair bit if taken to a body shop.

paint is still good
a smart repairer might be able to shrink it back for £50-100 but what ever you do now there is a very high chance the paint will crack or chip
BTW i'm pretty sure unless you've taken your Punto to north america its still a bonnet, next you'll be saying fenders and trunk

jheeze Andy i only just noticed it said hood in the title, so annoying when a bonnet is a bonnet but silly americans call it hood put your junk in your trunk...
put your junk in your trunk...
looks like someones tried forcing it open,
as S&b as said try blocks of wood,
id try a rolling pin,
or use blocks of wood and a good G-clamp'(s)
other than that it looks a tidy punto, ilikes white puntos

take bonnet off and sort it off the car,
there will be away of straightning it if you put your mind too it,
