Lightroom is limited to doing basic editing. If you want to change a picture to have a completely different background, LR is NOT the software to use. You would want Photoshop of some other advanced photo editing software. You can do some adjustments to the background in LR, but nothing to advanced.

I cannot tell if you are wanting to change the background of the viewing area for all photos within Lightroom or wanting to use Lightroom to change the background of a specific photo.

If it is the latter, sorry wrong tool. For the former go to the Preferences pane and choose the Interface tab. Middle section is Background. Fill color choices are in the drop down menu. I prefer medium gray.

I use this, and it's free. Not terribly advanced, but does have a number of features.
