At the time of His crucifixion, the Romans put a sign at the top of Jesus' cross that said "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." This was at the order of Pilate. The Chief Priests complained to Pilate that it should have said "This man claimed to be king of the Jews", but Pilate refused their argument, saying "What I have written will stay written".

Because it read 'King of the Jews'. The Pharisees (Jewish priests who had Jesus crucified) wanted it changed to "I say I am the king of the Jews" but Pilate would not.
What does the plaque over Jesus' head say?
The plaque over Jesus' head on the cross is commonly depicted with the Latin inscription "INRI," which stands for "Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum," meaning "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." This plaque was likely placed there by the Romans to signify the crime for which Jesus was being crucified.
If Jews do not believe in Jesus as the Son of God why was He called the King of the Jews?
The term "King of the Jews" was a term given to him by the Romans since they understood the term Messiah (like Jews at the time did) to refer to a terrestrial ruler. As a result, if Jesus was the Messiah as he claimed, he was effectively the "King of the Jews". However, the majority of Jews and both the Pharisaic and Sadducee Establishments would have rejected his claims to being the Messiah, so the Roman term is irrelevant to ascertaining Jews' true views of Jesus.
