use photoshop, the best solution to your problem

select the area of the image you want to keep
hit Ctrl + C
it will appear on a new layer
create a new layer and drag it beneath the laer you’ve pasted.
fill the newly created layer with white colour
delete the first layer (the one with the full image not the one you pasted)

You can use photoshop to change the background or if you want to use a free version of software, you can use GIMP. you just need to remove. Here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5-WmuLFHys or

If you don’t have Photoshop, download IrfanView (which is free), and do the following:
1. Open the image
2. Choose Image=>Add border/frame…
3. Choose “Plain White” from the list
4. Set the size of the border (“border 1) in pixels and click [OK]
