the short answer is that it's stored the same as an old vinyl record stores audio - in a continuous spiral with pits and troughs that make up the actual data.
a cd-r and a cd-rw are pretty much the same except that when re-writing a cd-rw the surface is re-heated so that it can be re-burned.
if you want a fuller explanation, see here:

if this helped, don't forget to 'accept' my answer.

A CD-RW recorder can rewrite 700 MB of data to a CD-RW disc roughly 1000 times.
Also please check my reference link... There are lot of details. Thank you!
