If it were easy to become instate for tuition purposes, there would be very, very out of state kids at the state universities. THere are some schools and some states that are easier than others to get in-state status. However, for most states, you need to have a parent with an in-state address who has paid taxes (has filed the state tax return) for the prior year. There are ways to game the system; there always are, but they are a pain in the neck and may involve some lying. There is always that route; getting something through cheating, lying, stealing, but there are the attendent risks in going that way.
