How can you change should active voice to passive voice?
You can't: there is no passive form of this verb--just as there is no passive form of the verb "to go". Why? Because in order to have a passive voice, the verb in question must be transitive: i.e., take an object. You can't should a thing, or go a thing. But you can, for instance, stroke a thing. So you can say that the thing is/was stroked--passive.

What is 'passive' in English grammar?
the passive voice is a grammatical voice in which the subject receives the action of a transitive verb. Passive voice emphasizes the process rather than who is performing the action. Passive (or passive verb) refers more generally to verbs using this construction and the passages in which they are used. In English, a passive verb is periphrastic; that is, it does not have a one-word form, but consists of an auxiliary verb plus the past participle of the transitive verb. The auxiliary verb usually is a form of the verb to be, but other auxiliary verbs, such as get, are sometimes used. The passive voice can be used in any number of tenses. The process of changing an active verb into a passive one is called passivization. Passivization is a valence-decreasing process, and it is sometimes referred to as a detranzitivizing process, because it changes transitive verbs into intransitives.

What type of verb precedes a direct object?
The direct object normally follows the verb. The verb that precedes the direct object is not a specific type. A good way to see if the phrase following the verb is a direct object is to use the "passive test". Ex. Active voice: The pitcher threw the ball. Passive voice: The ball was thrown by the pitcher. Since we are able to make it passive we can see "the ball" is the direct object. One way I remember it is by asking "The pitcher threw what? The Ball"
Is the sentence The cake was baked by Mother transitive or intransitive?
This is not really a sentence. It has a passive verb phrase an actor but no non-actor or subject. Passive sentences usually require a verb that takes an object - a transitive verb. So I would say bake is a transitive verb. Some verbs can be both transitive or non transitive. The bread was baked by mother.
