There are three ways that I can think of without looking.
1) If you just need to change the background, click on the color (black or white) with the magic wand tool, then sellect similar from the select menue and then use the fill command and choose either black or white from the menu there. This however will not reverse the opposite color.
2) If you want to reverse the black and white colors together you can choose the invert command and all the balck will change to white and the white to black
3) Finally you can choose the color you want to change with the magic wand tool and choose similar as in 1) above then choose the inverse comand in the sellect menu, copy what you have sellected and then create a new doc. and have either the white or black background sellected. Then paste the image you copied into the new doc. If you do this however do not forget to merge the layers together. You can find this command in the layers menu usually at the bottom of the list.

Hope this helps
