Presta Valves - Do I *need* them for my road bike?

I have a Cannondale road bike with Presta Valves. They seem really hard to inflate for some reason.
1) Is it possible to get regular valves for a road bike?
2) Is there some advantage to Presta Valves?

I am not super experienced - did a few triathlons and now want to start biking each morning for exercise.

But these valves make re-inflation a challenge.

(They take 90 PSI and start leaking - the tire says it needs 100-110).

Thank you!!
