no, true solids are non compressible so even if you change the shape of the solid you don't alter the amount of space it takes up- its volume.

Volume = Length x Width x Height
So, unless you alter one of those three components while your trying to deform the shape of a solid material, that's the only time when your volume will change.
If you're wondering about its mass... the answer is NO provided you keep the material intact and do no more than deforming its shape.

Usually not. Most solids are nearly incompressible. Try this experiment. Get a piece of putty or plasticine. Measure its volume by submerging it in water in a container and noting the rise in water level. Then change its shape and measure the volume again.
