How can irreversible changes change?

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. The term irreversible change is rather meaningless. Some changes are easier to reverse than others, that's all. Melting and freezing water is fairly easy. Melting and freezing iron is more difficult, but not impossible. Some people will tell you chemical changes are irreversible, but that's not true either. Some are easy to reverse, others like burning wood may seem impossible. I can't take carbon dioxide and water and turn them into wood, but plants do it all the time.
