Using energy from the sun or powerful batteries, they could extract hydrogen and oxygen from the rocks. Since water is hydrogen and oxygen, its not too hard to make water from those 2 elements.
Plus there is scientific evidence that there is some water on Mars (possibly underground or frozen beneath the polar caps).

Mars has iron oxide which can be processed to get oxygen. The polar caps have water which can also be processed for oxygen and to drink. All you need is energy to do the processing on both. The Mars Exploration Rovers use solar cells but a better source would be RTG's (radioisotope thermoelectric generators). These are used on space probes that go beyond Mars. The Voyager probes used RTG's and are still going strong.
