Can Citation Be Changed in Mail

My question involves a traffic citation from the state of: California
I received a citation for not wearing a seatbelt. I signed citation and two days later i got a letter saying the seatbelt ticket was changed to a speeding ticket. I wasn't speeding and there are no recorded mph on citation at all. Can this be possible and what to do?

You plead not guilty via TBD or go directly to court to plead your case.

Yes, it can be changed.

The officer files a form with the court amending the citation and you are sent a copy by mail notifying you of the change.

You can then plead you case with the court as noted above.

Why did the officer initially stop you? Was it for alleged speeding or the seatbelt violation?
