Go to System -> FortiGuard -> AntiVirus & IPS Updates -and under 'Scheduled Updates' there are 3 options:
1) 'Every' and 'Hours': With a minimum of one hour.

3) 'Weekly', 'Sunday to Saturday' and 'AM or PM': To specify a day of the week and a specify hour (however, this is not possible to control the exact time within that hour).
From the CLI.
Use the following command:
# config system autoupdate schedule
