You can buy nature Mints from any Chansey Supply store or find them naturally in the overworld. It should be noted that using a Mint on a Pokémon will not change their displayed nature on the summary page. However, once you have unlocked the iv checker after completing the game, you will be able to see the boosted and hindered stat of all Pokémon and will be able to see that the Mint's effects have taken hold. 

Additionally, in previous games, it was possible to use a Pokémon with the Synchronize ability at the front of your party. If you did this, every Pokémon you encounter will have the same nature as the Synchronize Pokémon. Unfortunately, this feature has been removed in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. That's all about how to change nature in Pokemon Violet and Scarlet.
