I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but here is a stab at fixing the problem.

select the ball with the lasso tool and delete it.
create a new layer and place it under your original layer.
use the eyedropper tool to select the background tool
make sure the new empty layer is selected
using the fill bucket tool click on the empty space.
that should fill in the hole made by deleting the ball.
merge the layers and you are done.

another idea is to use the eyedropper tool to select the background color and then use the paintbrush tool with a med-small head to paint over the ball.

hope that was helpful.
