Most typically pigs are weaned at six to eight weeks of age. They can begin eating a baby pig ration just as a "training" period at two to three weeks of age so that by six to eight weeks they can eat their own ration.
There is a early weaning possiblity that is very labor intensive that requires a very height quality feed and a stable warm environment where pigs are weaned at three weeks old. It is risky but if there is a reason why a sow needs to be weaned early, for health reasons for example, this can be done.
It is best, however to let the pigs have access to mother's milk for eight weeks as this is the best way for the pig to grow naturally until his gut is ready for feed rations.
