Pride. Satan was indeed an angel - "the anointed cherub", and "son of the morning", - but he got too proud, ("Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty"), and he wanted to be as God, - "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High", he said. Now He is a fallen angel or devil.

You can read about his fall in Ez.28.13-19 and in Isaiah.14.12-20

How old is Satan?

Satan, also known as the Devil or Lucifer, is as old as God and Heaven themselves: they are timeless. They always were and always will be; there was no birth of either God or Satan and there will be no death of either, either. =) Satan used to be an angel-- one of the closest to God himself, and this angel was named Lucifer. Lucifer tried to rebel against God, questioning why God alone was superior to the rest, and as punishment God exiled Lucifer and all those who followed him from Heaven. Thus, the reign on Earth of Satan and his demons began.
