There are those who are trying their best to change that, and risking/loosing their lives to do it. But I think its a lot harder to do compared to the former USSR; the North Korean regime has a much stronger grip on the populace, considerably smaller territory to deal with, and is very isolated from the rest of the world with a massive demilitarized zone to the south, ocean to the east and west, and bordering a country with similar ideology that also has a controlled populace to the north (China). Also there is far less education and technological knowledge compared to the USSR, and most of the populace is at the low end of the third world spectrum.
I do think that eventually it will have to change, but it could still be a long way off yet unless the rest of the world gets involved.
