No one changed it. It was an arbitrary guess for the date of birth of christ which turned out to be wrong when matched against other evidence

How many years are there between 30 BC and 30 AD and why?
58 years are between 30 BC and AD 30. The first thing you need to remember is that there is no year 0; the year before AD 1 is 1 BC. So the years between 30 BC and AD 30 are... 29 BC, 28 BC, 27 BC, ..., 2 BC, 1 BC, AD1, AD 2, ..., AD 27, AD 28, AD 29 29 BC through 1 BC is 29 years, and AD 1 through AD 29 is 29 years. 29 years + 29 years = 58 years

What is mean by before Christ and what is the last year for before Christ?
If you're talking about BC and AD, BC has always been refered to as Before Christ. AD has always been refered to as After Death. Both these statements are wrong. Christ Jesus was born around 4 BC and died around 37 AD. AD actually stands for the Latin phrase Anno Domini meaning "in the year of our Lord". I hope this answers your question.Ignoring the question of exactly when Christ was born, the last year BC was 1 BC and the first year AD was AD 1. There is no zero year in either system. The years just go ... 5 BC, 4 BC, 3 BC, 2 BC, 1 BC, AD 1, AD 2, AD 3, AD 4, AD 5 ...Each century AD starts on a 01 year (e.g. 1901) and ends on a 00 year (e.g. 2000), the given example was the beginning and ending of the 20th century. Each century BC starts on a 00 year and ends on a 01 year, as the years count backward.
What was the year before 100 BC?
100 BC is a year. Right now it is 2010 AD.
