Answer 1

Use the jQuery .attr() to update the href.

$(function() {
  $('#background_image').attr('xlink:href', 'http://placehold.it/350x150');
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<image id="background_image" width="804" height="943" preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin" style=" pointer-events:none;background-repeat:repeat-y;" xlink:href="http://www.example.com/img/imag.png">

A simple selector with attr like the one below should work for you.

$('#background_image').attr('xlink:href','newurl.com/image.png');
