My draconic sorcerer want to use a fire customization of vitriolic sphere spell. can I just make a copy of the spell and alter the type in the system, creating the new one (like a custom npc)?

Yep. Depending upon what automation is involved in the original, automation for your new spell may or may not work as desired though. test it after you create it. Spells are usually fine to do this with an maintain automation.

Yes, you can make a copy of the spell and then edit the damage type to fire. Once the spell is added to the action tab I would then edit the DMGO effect to DMGOE since the ongoing damage happens at the end of the target's turn rather than at the start of their turn.

Worked as a charm, thanks for the help. I noted something that I had not saw earlier... I activated the sorcerer Elemental Affinity (Fire). The resistance is working but the CHA bonus on dmg is not applying. There is something that need to be changed? In combat tracker, the effect appears as Elemental Affinity (Fire); RESIST: fire; NOTE: Add CHA to Fire damage roll

You'll need to edit that so that it reads RESIST: fire; DMGDIE: [CHA] fire. DMGDIE is a new effect and existing spells and other things haven't been updated to take advantage of the new effects.
