Since H2O is a polar molecule, can you magnetize water?

The polarity of water is its electric dipole not its magnetic dipole.  You normally see magnets where atomic spins (magnetic dipoles) line up rather than molecular electric dipoles.

But could you align all the charges?  Yes.  If you put water inside a really strong field it would indeed macroscopicly orient to align with that field.  The caveat being it would have to be an extremely strong field to overcome the inter molecular forces at work.  If the system was then cooled (think sub 10K) it could stay in that orientation without the field until each molecule got enough energy to rearrange.
