how to : another body background image every day?

Any way you like.

Possibilities include uploading a different graphic to the same
location every day and writing a script (CGI, or a cron job) to
change the style sheet every day.

.... and writing a script, installed as a CGI script, that generates and
returns an image so that it uses the current day number as a parameter. You
would then use a reference to the script in a url(...) construct in CSS.

This probably makes no sense, but neither does the original request. It's
doable, though, albeit not trivially.

Why do both? Shouldn't just one of them alone be adequate?

I'm assuming that a cron job would touch the file as well as copying
it, so that the server responds with appropriate headers rather than a
304 Not modified

I didn't say do both; I gave two possible methods ("Possibilities
include...").

There are many ways it can be done.
