Something that really annoys me is when the version of a song released on CD is different from the one that is played on the radio.

That's the song people like and want to buy, not the album versions or some rubbish original mix. The latest culprit for me is Robyn and "Handle Me". Why does this happen?

Several reasons really. Usually either length or just to make the single more marketable.

Also, sometimes a remix of a song becomes more popular than the song, first example that comes to my head is Brimful of Asha by Cornershop.
