How can you make portland cement as quick setting and water resistance cement?
Please note that a key correction in terminology is essential before your question can be answered: use the word "concrete" instead of "cement." The answer is to modify your mix (i.e. Portland cement, sand, gravel, and water) by using hydraulic cement to repace part of the Portland cement. The higher the amount of hydraulic cement you add, the quicker the setting time and the impermeability. However, hydraulic cement sets so quickly that you have limit the amount of total mix so as to be able to pour it and form it before it sets.
Can you reuse the cement after it has crossed its setting time?
yes, if it is before the initial setting time...

Why shouldn't cement be on a bare floor?
Cement is a material that hardens when it is mixed with water. To keep it in good condition, in its powdered form before you mix it, you should keep it as dry as possible. A bare floor (that is, a bare concrete floor, or even worse, a bare earthen floor) can get cold, and if it gets cold there can be condensation, or dew. That moisture can then seep slowly into your bag of cement (which is usually stored in a paper bag that is not waterproof) and cause the cement to harden.

Paint it when it is not humid. If it's a bathroom, avoid using it to take a shower for a day. As long as you can get a four hour window where the surface isn't wet, you should be fine.
