Can i change the bandage aroubd my big toe that was stiched 5 days ago and put a new one? also, can i wash it with soap and water?

Ask your doctor: Different surgeons have different protocols in the postoperative care of your toe. Some advocate early bathing, others would prefer the bandage be kept dry and undisturbed. If the dressing got wet or dirty, ask your doctor what he/she wants you to do.
