Both are possible but with different meanings. The weather in Britain is changing - if this is happening now, or if this is the current trend. The weather in Britain is very changeable - if this is a general statement.

I don't recommend it. No. Use "changeable". "changing" is not really an adjective, so it's odd to hear it with "very". "very changing"?

It's borderline acceptable, but with 'often' I recommend a slightly different version.

The weather changes often in Britain.
