Issue in MS Painter
In MS Paint, if there isn't a box defined, then that's a little more difficult. You could select the Rubber tool and manually change the pixels to yellow, but to do this in a quicker fashion, you will need to use a more powerful graphics editor. If you're on Windows 10, try loading the image into Paint 3D and then use the Magic Select function.
try this:
1. select Rectangle in Shapes
2. click Fill dropdown and select Solid color
3. select the Color1 and select red color from Colors
4. select the Color2 and select yellow color from Colors
5. draw your box then
1. select Rectangle in Shapes
2. click Fill dropdown and select Solid color
3. select the Color1 and select red color from Colors
4. select the Color2 and select yellow color from Colors
5. draw your box then
Good thought Ryan, except the fill tool will also erase the text and graphic at the same time. MS Paint just isn't powerful enough for intricate changes like the OP wants to make imo.
alternatively... just screenshot the original image and paste it into a powerpoint slide, and then add the necessary boxes for the highlighting. And then make it as another screenshot.

click Fill dropdown and select Solid colorRyan,
How to Fill dropdown?
do you want to fill the rectangle with solid color, or partial transparent color, etc?
Sorry to that I cannot fill the rectangle below with color.Please clarify the issue you are having. Which method are you attempting to fill with? What happens when you try?
ASKER
that's easy... use PowerPoint as already mentioned, or in MS Paint:
1. select Rectangle in Shapes
2. set color1 = red color
3. make sure Outline = solid color
4. make sure Fill = No Fill
5. Draw ur rectangle there.

hmmm,
think I already provided you solutions for both blank background or marker background
can you refer to previous comments I have posted and try it again?

For marker background = White color, just select Color2 = White.

Very sorry, how to choose Marker background, in MS paint?

Marker Background
What are the steps to fill the rectangle with color (inside) and also be able to see the background (words) of the rectangle?you cannot do this with MS Paint or PowerPoint
I guess what @HuaMin Chen asking to create a rectangle with transparent or semi-transparent background, which I already shown above how to do that.
you cannot do this with MS Paint or PowerPointIndeed Paul, precisely what I said very early on in this question. The OP appears to want to perform intricate graphics manipulations with a tool that could be likened to an Etch A Sketch :)
HuaMin, I considered your question answered after the first few comments. Perhaps your question would have been better phrased by asking something like "How do I use the basic functions in MS Paint" if you wanted to learn how to do that? The other experts are trying their best to help you, but I think you need to understand the limitations of the tool that you are using.
I would suggest downloading and using a much more powerful graphics manipulation tool to achieve your desired results. Two such tools immediately come to mind.
Gimp - Pros: Very powerful, Free - Cons: Difficult to learn to use
PaintShop Pro 2019 - Pros: Very powerful, a little easier to use than Gimp - Cons: Payment needed after Trial period expires
By trying to use MS Paint to try and achieve the things you want to achieve, you will only end up frustrated because it does not have the capabilities to do much of what you're asking.
Hope that helps.

Thanks to all.
Andrew,
I've set up GIMP. Can you please share with the steps to put one rectangle filled with color, by also showing the background words?
