You have two choices:
-- Somehow increase or decrease its mass without changing its volume.
This is quite difficult.
-- Somehow either expand it into a greater volume or squeeze it into a
smaller one, without changing its mass in either case. This is easy to do
if the object happens to be a sample of a gas.

To change an object's density, you can change either its mass or volume. Increasing the mass or decreasing the volume will increase the density, while decreasing the mass or increasing the volume will decrease the density.
Mass, not density, and the closeness of objects, affects an object's gravitational pull. Density is not dependent on an object's size, but mass is. The more massive an object, and/or the closer an object is to another, the greater its gravitational pull.
Yes, the density of water increases as salt is dissolved in it. This is because the salt adds mass to the water without significantly changing its volume. The increase in density allows objects to float more easily in saltwater compared to freshwater.
As objects cool down, their density typically increases. This is because the particles in the object lose kinetic energy and move closer together, causing the object to become more compact and denser.
density
Density refers to how much mass an object has in a given volume. It is a measure of how tightly packed the particles in a substance are. Objects with high density have more mass in a given volume compared to objects with lower density.
