You can easily change VobSub colors using VobSub Configure (comes included with the VobSub package). But if your player doesn't honor the colors, that might not help.

that's exactly my problem.the player doesn't honor the colors.

Farsi is read from left to right, isn't it? If so, that's not correct. Here's a pic of the way I often make mine:



Text is light grey. Anti-alias is dark grey. Outline is black. Background is blue and transparent. However, much more common is this:



where grey is text and black is outline, with the background (blue) and unused color (red) being transparent.

You can change the colors and transparencies with a combination of checking/unchecking the boxes and playing with the colors. If your background color is showing up when the subs are onscreen, then it's not the box on the right (blue with checked box in my example), but a different box. Unless you unchecked the box. Find out which box it is and check it to make it transparent.

What i can do about this?

OCR to some supported text based subtitle?

E-mail the Patriot people and ask them to upgrade the firmware to fix this mistake?
