Is it possible to change phase of matter by compression in constant temperature??

Yes.

 

But you might have to build a specific setup to study it. Most practical applications (compressors) are not isothermal (they do not have a constant temperature).

Possible and done. Ice near 0°C is molten by pressure, hydrogen gets metallic, ice changes its crystal form...

 

Changing from gas to condensed phase is much easier, since the pressure acts on a bigger volume change.
