Hi, I am in a stupid country inside fuxx firewall. I wanted to buy a VPS for doing VPN/proxy business. I am not sure how quickly can I change the server’s ip address once the ip address is blocked by the firewall. I need the answer in hours, for example 4 hours.

You can’t just change ip address, and why would you want to do that? spamming can cause account permanent suspension, not saying is the case but I see no real reason to change IP unless someone is doing something it shouldn’t.
Now you can create a new droplet with an image from your current one, that will grant you a new ip, also you can use a droplet from lets say NYC3 that has several IPV6 addresses, but you will still have one main ip address on your server that is used for outgoing traffic.
