(2) You must write with ink. Both are used; I believe Google would reveal "in" more common.

(1) Please give me some milk. - Means that you're asking for an amount of milk.

(2) Please give me milk. - Means that you're asking exactly for milk but not for cream, sugar, or anything else.

Ok, thank you

Is there any change in the meaning of  the following sentences ?

You must write in ink.

You must write with ink.

I don't think there's any difference. As Philip said, the first one is just more common.
