Absolutely not. Your oil filter is capable of handling small amounts of water, but failing that, only an oil and oil filter change will suffice to remove larger amounts of water safely. You need to address the problem of how the water came to be in the oil in the first place, however.

What would happen if I have a 4 cycle engine with oil and gas mix?

I don't think the oil/gas mix will harm the engine, but the engine will probably emit greyish-blue smoke until the oil/gas is burnt off. Also, the spark plug will probably foul due to the oil, and cause the engine to burn rich and emit black smoke. The engine will probably run rough until all the oil/gas is burnt and you will have to remove and clean the spark plug often. Save yourself the "headache" and drain the oil/gas from the fuel tank.
