The problem you are having is most like the background layer is 'locked'.... normally, it is locked by default so what you do is right click on the layer (in the layers palette) and select duplicate...., then right click on the origianl background layer and delete.... then you can modify the new duplicate layer any way you like....
hope that helps...
