Unless you're talking about probes, which we've already done.
I mean manned missions. NASA has plans for a permanent base on mars by 2020, so I figure that they will want to send a manned mission before that...
Hopefully there will be a world war soon so we can get some faster tech, but whatever, Ill be happy if the US just buffs NASAs budget a little. I heard they have less than 60% of the budget needed to complete their prospective projects, laaame.

We have the tech required to terraform, but I doubt we could pull it off on such a large scale without an insane amount of cash.
