how much time takes the cement foundations to dry to do a column
 
There are so many variables that it's difficult to advise you:

briefly,

typical residential, load bearing footings/foundations might be dry, but still weak to work with, after say, 4-5 days.
However, if better curing and form stripping is to take place you might have to wait for 7 to 14 days.

Dont attempt to load concrete that is "green" or still looks damp.
 
Depends on load. Concrete typically achieves 50% of 28 day strength in 3 days - 70% in 7 days.
