Time magic is tied to the Breach, that is why Alexius was only able to utilize it after Corypheus blew up the conclave. The mages help seal the Breach, no Breach, no time magic.
Corypheus only shows himself after the closing of the Breach, we don't even know that he exists before, and we find out only much later that he was a mortal man a long-long time ago.
Which bring us to the final problem, that Cory was a mortal man so long ago, that we don't even know the exact time and date and we wouldn't know where to travel back in time even if we could.
Plus, there is a moral dilemma too: if you go back in time to stop a future murderer by killing him when he is a child, is that killing justified, considering that at that point, he hasn't committed anything and therefore is innocent? Is killing him the only option, or could you alter the timeline so that he does not turn out to be a bad guy? Or would that screw up the future you are coming from?
Even when time travel was possible, it was limited to the timeline of the Breach. You could only travel back as far as it existed. Corypheus was born about a thousand years before that happened.
Besides, killing Corypheus as an infant could result in an even worse timeline. Remember, Tevinter only began to decline because of the First Blight. Corypheus wasn't the only magister to enter the Black City, but he came up with the idea after communing with Dumat and organized the others. No Corypheus, potentially no Blight. The Imperium could still be in control of all of Thedas, or the world could have been destroyed.

I did not know that that the time magic was tied to the Breach and yes i know that he is old i think Varric mentioned that he was more then a thousand years old

Yes you could be right that if they kill him as an infant that the future could be far worse but worse then Corypheus i doubt it
Okay it is much clearer now thanks guys
