Why do you want to change it? It is dangerous to calculate like (-8)^(1/3)=-2.
Look at this:
(-8)^(1/3)=(-8)^(2/6)=((-8)^2))^(1/6)=64^(1/6)=2
If you use fractions in exponents and want to keep the rules for exponents, than
you cannot allow negative base. And ^ and POWER calculate with exponents.
There are other opinions, but then you are speaking of a cube root, which would
be a new function in Calc.
