Recently I upgraded to Ubuntu Mate 22.04, I wish to change the background image in the greeter window, but lightdm-settings seems not to work, because it change nothing.

Good question.
Here are some links with explanations about this problem and also some workarounds:
Here is a perfect working solution by reverting to slick-greeter:
Extra background info and some workarounds for if you want to keep using 'Arctica' greeter, in the following thread are several ways to bypass some of the problems:
EDIT: See also this thread
Some things changed under the hood which resulted in a bug.
See this:
and this:
and the "won't fix" answer of the author.
so you have to edit a configfile manually:
sudo pluma /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/30_ubuntu-mate.gschema.override
and change the background= entry
then recompile the schemas:
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/.
This seems to be the accepted workaround for the time being.
It lacks a bit in elegance I'm afraid. But it works pretty well.
