Well, you can eg change the backgroundcolour with
containerVariable.setBackground(Color.Blue);

I am not sure, but I think you question means:
How can I create an applet with a raster (digital image) as the background?

TRY:

// Download the image "image.ext" from the same directory that the applet resides in.
      img = getImage( getDocumentBase(), "image.ext" );

image.ext == image.gif

Good Luck
