Water condensed on Mars during the solar system formation. First there was only a planetesimal version of Mars, a little core which accreted material from the surrounding solar nebula thus growing bigger and bigger with time. Hydrogen, Helium, Carbon and Oxygen were amongst the most abundant species. Being one of the simpler polyatomic molecules, H2O was abundant too and Mars had water on it from the beginning of its existence. Most of the water was lost from Mars' atmosphere into space later in its evolution and now all that remains is frozen water (ice) near the poles.
Today the only way to get water to Mars would be to bring it from Earth or somewhere else and drop it there. Fluid water could be produced by melting the polar caps but today's science is far away from doing any terraforming on that scale.
