Hii I am using a logitech PTZ camera . i am trying to find the intrinsic camera matrix from opencv . Do the fx and fy values change when calibrated differently ?? Or are they constant ?

no, fx and fy are not constant, they depend on the zoom state of your camera.

so, whenever you change the zoom ( manually or by autofocus ), you need to recalibrate to get the current intrinsic matrix.

with a bit of luck, you can toggle the autofocus from the settings panel , try:

VideoCapture cap(0);
cap.set(CAP_PROP_SETTINGS,1);

Are fx and fy not the physical focal length values ?? If they are then fx and fy have to be constant right ??
