How many days does something you do, (it could be anything) becomes a habit? For example, two weeks?

It depends on what it is. A habit may be formed in a matter of a minute. For example the use of a drug. You may use it once and it immediately becomes a habit.

a habit, could be waking up early every day, so that's a good habit, you do your daily tasks in a certain way, that is also a habit, but you can also treat you mind to get used to a new habit, this will take a long time to do.

Generally, it takes 27 repititions of a behavior to become a habit. Habits can be good if they enable us to function properly in a given environment, bad if they cause us to act disfunctionally in others.

I read somewhere that it took three weeks for an action to become a habit.

Its a habit when you cant stop doing it. Not even for a day.

Rephrase the question. Follow my example for the reason, brushing your teeth is a habit.
