If 100% of the shares are owned by the state, how does trading happen?

Normally by selling and buying. How else?

Mostly on the stock exchange, which is made for that. Maybe also
bypassing the stock exchange, but then mostly in big chunks.

Who is actually doing the buying?

Anybody who is willing to pay the price offered by the seller. If the
seller actually wants to sell...

And if the seller won't sell, there is no trading.
And if the owner is the state, the thing is state owned.
