What's the easiest way to do it? I know css could just set background color of text very easily. And fireworks was able to do that. But I can't make it work now. I know there is a harder way: putting a rectangle below the text. Or putting the text inside the rectangle.

Are you asking simply how to change the color of text in Photoshop? – Johannes Oct 14 '12 at 4:21

:) I'm asking about changing the background color, not text color. It could be think of as the fill color of the invisible textbox containing the text. – randomor Oct 14 '12 at 4:56

There is no text box colour in Photoshop. The only way is to draw rectangular shape layer below the text layer (you could also use a bitmap layer).

Yep, that's different to some other design software.
