Look at your project and general settings if you can set the background to black instead of transparent.
First have a look at the manual or help file of After Effects to get acquainted with that program.
Second, read the manual/help file thoroughly on topics you want to know more about.
That is where the RTFM comes from.
And here is a link to official Adobe support and help documentation.

And finally, I can't answer your question precisely, as I haven't touched AE in years. But in PS one can change the background of a new image during the "New Image" dialog.
PS: Now I can answer your question.
Choose Composition > Background Color, and then click the color swatch or use the eyedropper to pick a color.

Ergo you spend more time here waiting instead of looking for yourself.

Which version do you have anyway?
and i have CS4Do you want a black background to place your work on top of? Or do you just not want the checkerboard view stating that your comp is empty? If you want a new black canvas go to Layer > New > Solid and choose black as the color.
I want it to be black but with out the solid, usually it does it but i don't know why it changed, i didn't change any settings....
