How do you get the piston back in the calliper of a 2004 Ford Freestar even when the bleeder valve is open?

in order to depress caliper you have to turn the top of the piston clockwise while adding pressure with clamp.
This could be caused by the piston having worn a groove into the cylinder wall of - it's catching up on the edge. In that case, best to replace the caliper, or at the very least have yours rebuilt.
NOTE: when compressing pistons back, be sure there is enough room in the brake fluid container for the extra fluid that going to be pushed back into it. You may need to take some out to avoid a nasty over-flow(!)

How do you push in caliper piston?
There is a specialty tool for this procedure. There is a metal plate that fits on the piston, then a clamp for the back of the caliper. Turning a screw will pull in the caliper. Opening the bleeder valve may be necessary.

How to push in the piston even if the bleeder is open it still wont go back in?
open the bleeder valve I'm assuming your talking about a disk brake, you need to use a C clamp and the old brake pads to force the piston back into the caliper. If it had a X in the head of the piston you need to get the tool to turn it back in. If all that doesn't work, the caliper is frozen and it needs to be replaced
