The CPU's instruction set is not stored anywhere. Rather, it is an integral part of the silicon that the CPU is made out of. The "instruction set" is actually a metaphor used to describe the different effects of charges at different points in the CPU. Just because I call a certain operation "add" doesn't mean anything to the CPU. Charges are applied and due to the way they are applied, different transistors open and close, providing different effects.

Why contents of a program counter change?

The PC (program counter) is a CPU memory variable, commonly called a "register," that the CPU uses to track where the current executing instruction is located in memory, or on some CPUs, where the next instruction to execute is. Without a PC, the CPU would not know where the code it is currently executing is stored, and thus would not be able to run programs.
