I am writing a sentence for an agreement.
Any change in this agreement can only happen with a consent of both parties.
and I have another sentence
Any change in this agreement must be agreed by both parties.
Do they mean the same ? Which on eis better.

An agreement usually means it has to be lawful in some way and "unambiguous". Be careful . . . what are you really intending all people to read it as? "Any alteration may only be made with the full agreement of both parties" and must be expressed in writing to this effect and duly signed by all parties to this agreement.
The word change is rather ambiguous; avoid it

They mean the same, but are not quite correct English. A suggestion:
Any change to this agreement must have the consent of both parties.

I think I would say:
"No changes to this agreement may be made without the consent of both parties"

I think the Frost is better, but can I make some suggestions as well?
You might want to use the word 'amend' or 'amendment' instead of 'change'.
Any amendment to this agreement must be agreed upon and consent must be given by both/all parties involved.
Hope this helps.

Any change in this agreement can only happen with a consent of both parties. (There will be no change in this agreement unless agreed upon first by BOTH parties)
Yes they both mean the same.

Alright, so everyone else is going "Oh, the legalities of it." Personally, it looks bad to have agreement and agreed one after the other, it's just a literary thing. So, the use of an alternate word just looks better, you know?
Technically, I'd have gone with "Any alteration of this agreement must be submitted in writing and be signed by both parties in order to be effected."
But that's just me.

You can just simply say
"Both parties must agree before any changes in the agreement.

Any changes made to this agreement must be executed with the explicit and signed consent of both parties.
