Can I use the expression "very few " to indicate something not countable ?
For example can I say "I've talked for very few time " or I must use expressions like "I've talked for a little time"! Can I use few only for countable things (biscuits cars and etc..) or is it correct to use in talking in every situation ??

When speaking of the amount of time that you talked, if you talked for a short time, you would say, "I talked for a short time" or "I talked for a little while."
Yes, you may use the word "few" when referring to an amount. For example, "I talked for a few minutes." "A few" means "a small amount of." Like, "I have a few bananas" means that you have about 3-5 bananas.
