If you can't change a variable's value in Haskell, how do you create data structures?

As per the title.

I have the following code which creates a binary search tree, but if I want it created and changed dynamically with user input, how would I do that if I can't change the value of a variable in haskell?!?

find :: (Ord a) => Node a -> a -> Bool
find (Node val left right) s
    | s == val      = True
    | s < val       = find left s
    | s > val       = find right s

find Empty s = False

data Node a = Node a (Node a) (Node a)
              | Empty

myTree = Node "m"   (Node "a" Empty Empty)
                    (Node "z" Empty Empty)

Thanks in advance!
