Probably easier to take another pic using white cardboard and better lighting. If your desperate you could try playing with levels.

You may change the background in photoshop using some special tools.

Use the quick selection tool to select whatever the object in the picture is.. Then create a levels adjustment layer with the selection still active. This will make a mask of the object, you will need to invert the mask (CTRL + I) or CMD + I on a mac. In the levels adjustment panel use the set white point eyedropper and click on the top right corner or the image.. where the darker area of white is.. that will change everything with that luminance level or lighter to white. After that you can go into your mask panel and fool with the mask settings to get your selection to something you will be happy with.. also you could just lower the opacity of the level adjustment to make something that looks more natural.

Take it in to Camera RAW, use a selective exposure brush.
