In Physics, the weight of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity.
Weight depends on mass and gravity. W = mg
the quantity m cannot be zero however weight may change due to change in the value of g or when g is countered by the reaction force of the ground.
An object having mass can have zero weight(weightless) if:
(1) It is orbitting around earth
(2) In a state of free fall
(3) In zero gravity flights
(4) In interstellar space
(5) In levitation

Answer:
Weight depends on mass and acceleration due to gravity. Weight depends from place to place so it can be zero but mass of an object can't be zero and it can't be changed easily.
