It's certainly possible  to change the current contacts state with the state of another contact. I'm assuming you know how to capture both the current contact and the other contact your wanting to use to set the current ones state. From there we just need to capture the field descriptor for the state field:

DBFieldDescriptor StateField = _ActApp.ActFramework.Contacts.GetContactFieldDescriptor("STATE", Act.Framework.MutableEntities.FieldNameType.Alias);

Then all we have to do is call the SetValue method for this field descriptor and use the values from our contacts. If you prefer to capture the states as a string you can do so like:

string contactState = contact.Fields["STATE", Act.Framework.MutableEntities.FieldNameType.Alias].ToString();
