    If you have an older version of photoshop, you can drag the padlock to the trashcan to convert a background layer into a normal layer.

    Once that is done you have several options to choose from depending on the image if any is already on the canvas. You can create a selection and hit the delete key, you can use the eraser tool or you can create a mask from a selection.

    It is totally up to you and what you are comfortable doing.

    If you don't have an image, you could create a new document and choose a transparent background instead of a color. This can be found in the new dialog box.
