How do some magnets have the ability to turn on and off?

Why don’t all magnets have this ability? Is it based on the material? If a magnet is turned off, is it that the material is demagnetized somehow and then magnetized again?

Electromagnets can be turned on and off by adding current/electricity. Natural magnets cannot be turned on and off.
