    <input type="Button" value="Colour One" onclick="document.bgColor = 'Red'" />

    <input type="Button" value="paypal" onclick="document.bgColor = 'Blue'" />

    <input type="Button" value="Colour Three" onclick="document.bgColor = 'Green'" />

    i am using this script but my webpage is not changing colours

    like in css you write >>>!important <<< at the end is there anything similar in javascript like that

    You don't need jQuery for something as simple as this. In any case, it should be working properly. Try the following:
    <html>
<body>
<input type="Button" value="Colour One" onclick="document.bgColor = 'Red'" />
<input type="Button" value="paypal" onclick="document.bgColor = 'Blue'" />
<input type="Button" value="Colour Three" onclick="document.bgColor = 'Green'" />
</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):

    its better to use document.body.bgColor rather than document.bgColor..

    <input type="Button" value="Colour One" onclick="document.body.bgColor = 'Red'" />

<input type="Button" value="paypal" onclick="document.body.bgColor = 'Blue'" />

<input type="Button" value="Colour Three" onclick="document.body.bgColor = 'Green'" />
