This can be done with a simple action (possibly in Batch mode) if the rectangle on the bottommost layer is filled with a unique colour. Does that apply to your files?

Which version of Illustrator are you using?

There is no such thing as a background color in Illustrator. You would have to create a rectangle the size of the artboard and color that.

If there already is an object of that size in your file that acts as a background then what do you want to change?

You maybe need to learn about the basics of the software.
