because in the Christian/Jewish world, they didn't think people would follow a religion based on a black figure (Moses was born in Egypt, where everyone was black at the time), so they made him white. He most likely didn't have a beard either. The same thing with Jesus. Jesus was middle Eastern/ Jewish, and Christians didn't want to follow a Jewish figure, so they made him white so he could be more like those in Europe who were christian in the middle ages.
