How do you get rid of a cold within 24 hours?

You can't. Your body needs to take time to produce the necessary antibodies, which is how your immune system fights a common cold. That can take from 7 - 10 days for a typical common cold virus. You can treat the symptoms and begin to feel better sooner than that time frame, but each individual will take different times for the development of antibodies and this can vary depending on the specific cold virus involved.
