With our current understanding of the laws of nature the only way scientists know of to warp spacetime is with gravity and the only way to create gravity is with mass. LOTS of mass. If we can gain some understanding of how to control the Higg's Boson we might be able to manipulate gravity but I think it's something that may require huge amounts of energy. Something on a scale that might be unpractical for any starship less than planet-sized.
