Is it possible to quickly switch between font styles when writing different types of text. For example when I write code or mathematical text I'd like to use a different font, eventually a background.
So far I only know how to add paragraph styles which change the whole paragraph obviously, not just a few characters.
It'd be great if you could help me out.
As far as I know, there is no “Select All Uses of …” command in Pages 5.
You don’t need that command to edit the format of all a style’s uses, though. When you change a paragraph's style, like changing some “Body”-styled paragraph’s font, an “Update” button will appear beside the style name in the format sidebar, and the style name will append a * to indicate that it was modified. Click the button and all paragraphs using that style will update.
If Pages '09 is already open, any Pages documents you double-click will open in that app, rather than in Pages '13.
To make sure Pages'09 is always open, I added it to the list of Login items (System Preferences —> Accounts —> Login Items).

What you’re looking for is called Character Styles. It works similarly to Paragraph Styles, except that it only affect the character you’ve selected. To create a paragraph style:
+sign at the top right and name your newly created style. Apply this for all your future selected characters.Here’s the screenshot for the list of Character Styles.
