how quick can I learn creole

That will depend on many different factors.
What's your motivation?
Do you have friends to practice with?
Do you get to hear spoken Creole often in your surrounding (workplace, radio, TV, friends)?
Are you taking Creole language classes?

The best thing you could do is immerse yourself in the language. Listen to it every day via radio, internet or TV. Read about the culture, tradition, and history of Haiti (there are many beginners book available at http://www.educavision.com/ or http://www.librerimapou.com/). And finally find a Creole speaker to practice speaking the language.
There are also some conversational classes offered at http://www.haitihub.com/  They might also be helpful to you.
I wish you all the best.
