This is not possible, the SDK does not let you do this.

As @Toam pointed out, the SDK does not allow you to set the lock screen background. However, you can kinda-sorta get around this. If you're willing to play a little music, you can set your own images/text to the lock screen in playback mode. Details can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8387406/716216
