Since this is a physics question, you can change the density only by increasing or decreasing the volume occupied by the mass (which cannot change). If the object is compressible (like a gas), adding pressure to reduce its volume will increase its density. If it is incompressible, but exhibits thermal expansion, increasing its temperature will reduce its density.

Well, the densitiy of a material might change due to temperature. Temperature causes materials to expand and contract, causing a change in volume, which is one of the elements of density. A Material may be compressed, hence loosing volume, and gaining density. A material may be stretched and, loose density.

i have a couple guesses. compressing the object will change density and volume. soaking it in water usually makes it denser. on a different scale, the atomic number of an element usually has something to do with density. hope i helped!

temperature. something with a higher temperature generally has a lower density

pressure. something under higher pressure generally has a higher density

good luck
