As far as I know, you can't. The weapons and defense of the fighters is set by their roles. Assault drones, which you get with the very first carrier module, use missile weapons and beam defense. I rarely use anything else. Additional roles become available as you research additional carrier module types, and they use different weapons. To me it's always seemed better to stick to assault fighters and research the heck out of missile weapon techs.
