Are you talking about the wallpaper on the homescreen, or the background of the all of the settings menus?

To change wallpaper, you typically have to long-press an empty part of the homescreen, then select the Wallpaper option. You should be able to select from a wide range of static or live wallpapers there.

The settings menu wallpaper cannot be changed on any device. This only changes if the phone supports a theme engine like Samsung, Sony, or LG does with their devices. Other options are using a third party theme engine like substratum, but I find that too much hassle.
