He helped manipulate him, for one thing. We don't know yet how much else he might have been doing behind the scenes, so it's possible that he was involved in things we didn't directly see. But regardless of how much he was actually directly involved in, Uta did pretend to be Kaneki's friend and someone he went to for advice and guidance. So that gave him the ability to influence Kaneki's actions, and steer him towards his certain doom.
