The approaches are different depending on the image. As the others say, it’s difficult to give you a good answer without seeing the image.

In short, you decide what it is about the background that makes it different than the foreground (tone? color? subject?…), pick the tool that isolates the background according to that (Select > Color Range? Object Selection Tool? A channel selection?), and use that tool to select the background. Then you can delete the background to transparency, and add a solid color layer behind it.

If you’re lucky enough that background is easy for Photoshop AI to identify; and you see the Remove Background button in the Contextual Task Bar or Properties panel, then you just click that.
