A cylinder(it is lifting my character) that is parented to my character at frame 43(for example) i don't want it parented to my character no more and i want to keep it parented in previous frames.

Is this posible ?

Like an elevator type thing?
Depending on the requirements you may just want to animate the two seperately...otherwise as Stavrev said look into constraints.
specifically at the frame you want to cylinder not to be parented anymore. Create an object at the exact position you want your cylinder to stop and constrain the cylinder to it and then animate the blend on and off.
this seems a bit messy though. So depening on the requirement consider having the cylinder seperate and animating both, it will give you MUCH more freedom later as you need to make edits.
