Very simple like this:
function changeBGImage(){
document.body.background = "image.jpg";
}
UPDATE
Or if you wanna use CSS (more elegant solution) with it, you could use:
<style>
.bg1 {
background-image: url(images/my_image.jpg);
}
</style>
<body id="page_body">
<script>
function changeBGImage(whichImage){
document.getElementById('page_body').className="bg"+whichImage;
}
</script>
