Default Horn Replacement -w- fuses.

I'm trying to replace my horn with a non stock style. However the horn that I choose requires a 30 amp fuse and the stock horn only requires a 20. Is it possible to replace that 20 amp fuse for the horn with a 30.?

It is possible, but the wiring is probably designed for 20 amps max. So you "could" run the possibility of melting some wires.

Is there a way to avoid that.

Yes. Run new wires rated for 30 amps.
