Why does this change?

Irregular
Doesn't follow a predictable pattern in at least one tense — these forms are worth memorizing individually rather than deriving from a rule.
  • present: voy, vas, va, vamos, van
  • preterite: fui, fuiste, fue, fuimos, fueron

Fully irregular in the present, preterite, and imperfect — doesn't follow a stem-change pattern at all; best memorized as its own paradigm.
