Given a simple state machine as attached, it is understood that it can change from State1 to State2 under the following cases:
1. Through protocols defined as external events/triggers (out messages)
2. By using a timer in State1 and on timeout, it can change to State2

Please clarify if there is a way to change from State1 to State2 through local transition (say based on a value of a variable while in State1) and provide more details/exmaples (if any)

No, there is no way to change from one state to another other than through messages received through a port (this includes 'in' messages in a base port, 'out' messages in a conjugated port and timeout messages on a Timing port). In particular you cannot change from one state to another using instance attributes/variables.
