(US NEC) This is probably an outlet for a clothes dryer. Hot one (black) to one side. Hot two (red) to the other side. Neutral (white) to the center. Ground (green) to the box. However, this will NOT work in a mobile home. There, you MUST use a four wire outlet and pigtail and carry all four wires all the way back to the distribution panel, and neutral/ground must NOTbe connected at the dryer.

To wire a 30A 240VAC disconnect, connect the black and red wires to the line terminals, the white wire to the neutral terminal, and the green or bare wire to the ground terminal. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and local electrical codes to ensure proper installation and safety. It is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician for assistance if needed.

Can you safely change a 30 amp breaker to 20 amps?
No, this is not a recommended procedure. The breakers main job is to protect the wire that is connected to it. A 20A breaker will have a #12 wire (rated 20A) connected to it. A 30A breaker will have a #10 wire (rated 30A) connected to it. As you can see if you use a 30A breaker on a #12 wire you could overload the wire by 10 amps. I have seen an incident where the insulation has melted off of an overloaded wire, the wire short out and a fire start before the bigger size breaker tripped. DON'T DO IT.
