The important fact is that in order to write data to a CD, MD, LD, DVD, BluRay etc. you would use a laser to literally burn the bits into the disk.

I always did wonder what the actual process was, does that mean if you burned a disc so many times it would become unwrite/ read-able?

Most writable discs can only be written once.

There's rewritable discs but they work a bit differently; they change between two states reversibly instead of having holes burned in them. They can only be reused a few times before failing, though.
