Why is fuel needed to change the speed or directions of a probe in space?

A moving object will continue moving in the same direction and at the same speed unless some force acts upon it. The only effective way to do this with a spacecraft is to eject mass away from it. By using combustible fuel we can eject mass at a high speed, which larger velocity changes than ejecting material at a low speed.
