Sorry for stupid question but I noticed unstressed о becomes а etc in Russian, so why do you spell it as o in
the first place? :P

Why do you spell everything in such a messy way in English?
First, there is a hisrorical tradition.
Second (more important), o might appear under stress in the same morpheme. Голова has the
stress on the last syllable, but in acc. sing. the first syllable is stressed гОлову, and
in the gen. pl. the seconde o is revealed голОв.
