Is there anyway I can protest a durable power of attorney or file to have someone else replace the POA if they are not acting in the grantor’s best interests?
My grandfather tried to commit suicide and he had a living Will but I have never seen it but I know that my uncle has durable power of attorney. My family and I both know he is doing things that my grandfather would either not want done or would want done differently.

I am so sorry for your situation. And is your Grandfather considerd not stable to make his decisions now? Because he can always "fire" him. If you think that your uncle is not making decisions in the best interest of your grandfather or dissipating assets then you can ask the court to remove him as POA or you could ask the court to appoint some one else the conservator of your grandfather and his estate. Good luck.
