Hello Wendy
You can't change that sphere.
You could make some Cubes (object) or Walls in a project to experiment with them materials on them.

And if you are going to start making a test room, be sure to arrange it so that the elements face different directions to allow for the changes of specular reflection, and also cast some shadow to see surface behavior in shadow.

Attached is my test room for materials.
