Nope, you can't change a Pokemon's Ability in Pokemon Violet or Scarlet directly. Each Pokemon comes with its own set abilities depending on its species, and while some have multiple possible abilities, the one your Pokemon starts with is the one it keeps. However, there are items called Ability Capsules that let you switch between a Pokemon’s regular abilities, but they won't work for changing to or from Hidden Abilities.

Short answer: directly, no. But, you can use an Ability Capsule for switching between a Pokémon’s non-Hidden Abilities if it has more than one.

Absolutely not. What you see is what you get with Pokemon abilities in Violet & Scarlet. Makes you think more about your team.
