What is fate?

This crazy rivalry between the gods seems to consume the entire. It looks so heavily over the narrative that at times the story line seems to be less about the deeds of the mortal characters than it is about the bickering among the gods, who are continually disrupting and manipulating events here on Earth. One of the Aeneid’s main themes, it seems to me, is that for both the gods and mortals, fate always wins in the end. Fate always has the final say so. This is the only binding factor between the God'a and mortals. But my question is... What exactly is fate? Do we decide our own fate? Can we change our fate along the way?
