Both fuse box and breaker box is where power flows through either the breaker or fuse.These devises are in place to trip or burn out due to short circuits.Without them the current would continue to flow and likely cause a fire or major damage to both the wiring and devise they supply power to.
The only difference is a breaker can be reset where a fuse must be replaced if they detect a short circuit.

How would you change a fuse to a mini circuit breaker?
I imagine you are talking about an actual fuse box, as opposed to a breaker box. These are different. One has circular fuses, the other has breakers, which generally look like switches. If it is a fuse box, unscrew the circular fuse and replace it with a fuse of the same amperage. The amperage is noted somewhere on the top of the fuse facing you when you look at in the fuse box. It will either be 15A [A for Amps] or 20A if it is in a house. If it is a breaker, and it is just tripped, turn it all the way off, and switch it back on. If the breaker is actually bad, use should call an electrician.

What are the main differences between a fuse box and a breaker box, and which one is more commonly used in modern electrical systems?
The main difference between a fuse box and a breaker box is the way they protect electrical circuits. A fuse box uses fuses that need to be replaced when they blow, while a breaker box uses circuit breakers that can be reset. Breaker boxes are more commonly used in modern electrical systems because they are safer, more convenient, and provide better protection against electrical overloads.
