One way is to create an ImageBrush, set its ImageSource property, and then assign that to the background. (Code updated based on comment)

//BitmapImage class is within this namespace
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging;    

ImageBrush ib = new ImageBrush();
ib.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"ms-appx:///dracula-128.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));   
this.Background = ib;
