As far as I know, that's not explicitly specified in The Bible. However, it must have been an act of rebellion against God.
It could have been arrogance, trying to gain more power or to become god himself (like he tempted Adam and Eve). It could have been disagreement about God creating humans (as suggested by CS Lewis).
We will probably lack this answer until we are at a place and time where we can ask any passing angel (or demon) this question.
Answer,
The first answer was right to a certain extent. Please allow me to enlighten you as far as my understanding goes.
In heaven God called a Grand Council in which all of His children attended including Christ His first born and Lucifer another favoured son. A plan was to be drawn up as to how all of God's children could be saved so that not one would be lost.
Two plans were put forward, one by Christ and the other by Lucifer. Two thirds of the host of heaven agreed with the plan of Christ whil one third sided wiith Lucufer.
Christ put forward his plan first and said that all mankind would have an agency to choose for themselves how they would act when placed upon the earth, and that all of the glory would go to God.
Lucifer however said that to save all makind he would force them to do right, and that he would take all of the glory upon himself and become as a God to take the place of his Father.
The scriptures say that a battle was fought between the two side. It would have been a battle of words. Lucifer lost as did the ones who supported him. Satan and his followers were cast out of heaven, never to receive a body, but to allow Christs plan to succeed they were allowed to torment man.
Lucifer, meaning Sun of the Morning. Will never receive his body, neither will his followers. Those who came to earth and chose to do the things most evil and warranted being sent to Hell for a better word, would have their bodies returned to them, but would remain with Satan and his angels.
Space does not allow me to go further so let this surfice for now.
