I just bought a Fender DG-4CE BLK and I'm planning to change the strings to nylon strings cause my fingertips cant bear it. Is it possible? And if so, what string is recommended? :]

NO .
Nylon strings are bigger than metal strings , they won't fit on tuner machine 's hole , and won't fit on the nut slot neither on bridge slot too.

Why do you have this problem ? ;
1- Beginner ? If yes this take time and practice practice not long time but often. Because strings
are so big ......

And

2- String action too high ; see a good luthier to adjust .

If you are a beginner ; better to start on electric guitar , easier.
1- String are smaller = easier to play
2- Easy to have lower action

If you really want acoustic guitar with nylon strings , sell your guitar and buy guitar with nylon strings.

Not a beginner. Maybe the strings are kinda hard to play. So I'll just buy some new strings. What brand strings do you recommend?

Witch strings do you like ? If not a beginner you try some other guitar / strings in your life ?

How is your string action now ? Maybe your guitar need a set up ?
Is it a new guitar , buying new ? If yes ask to your dealer.

All strings with same size are ( almost ) the same . What gauge are you using ? Try a smaller acoustic gauge if you can . But you probably need a neck truss rod adjustment
