Maneuverability of Geosynchronous Spaceship

Alright, this is an edit of my previous question, in response to a number of urges to clarify it. I'll do my best to be clear and concise.

How long would it take a spaceship, locked in geostationary orbit above a fixed point on the Earth's surface, to descend from orbit to the surface? I'm also curious as to how long it would take for said spaceship to reenter orbit, that is, to return to the exact geostationary position it had previously left.

I am, of course, speaking in terms of the technology we have today, but if this kind of maneuver is not possible with modern technology, please let me know why, and what would be required to pull it off.

So, once more: is it possible to move a spaceship orbiting the Earth, or an Earth-like planet, in and out of geostationary orbit, and if so, how long would it take?
