Ok, so this has to be the easiest thing in the world - but as it stands I cant figure it out !!
I have a .png file. It is a black flourish and I want it to be white or teal.
How can I change the color of this object ?
Open the image in PhotoPaint and use Adjust>Replace Colors. Replace black (Old color) with whatever color you like (New color).

Import your file (.png) to CorelDRAW and convert it to Bitmap > Black and White. After that go to BITMAP>OUTLINE TRACE>DETAILED LOGO. When POWER trace is opened, choose "Remove Back Ground" (in Options tab) and click OK.
Back to CorelDRAW apply color to object as you wish.
Thanks, I tried this but the centre stayed white ?
I was able to open it in Adobe Photoshop and make it white. However now I dont know how to get it from there to Corel. When I am in IMPORT in Corel and search for my new saved .jpg the file isnt there ?

If you are gong to trace it, then when you have the Trace dialog open, be sure to have a checkmark beside the box for 'Remove color from entire image' under the Remove Background heading.
But Patti's method is faster and probably the one that you want to use, to be able to keep the image as a bitmap (*.png, *.jpg, etc.)
