Water must gain or lose energy (through heat or pressure) in order to change state. When an object is "heated" what is actually happening is the molecules in the sample are speeding up. When it is "cooled" the molecules are slowing down. The same thing happens when the pressure is changed: when you compress something energy is added, and when you expand energy is released. So for water to change state, you need to change the amount of energy in the sample by changing the amount of heat or pressure.
