transparent pixel color

I have a .tga image with a large portion of fully transparent pixels. Doing a color picker on one of these pixels gives Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha all equal to zero. I would like to do a global transformation on my image, making all pixels that have an alpha of zero have RGB be 0xff00ff. In other words, I want fully transparent pixels to all have color magenta instead of black. The reason for this is that my tool uses this color in its display. How do I do this?

Why not just put a new layer underneath the one with the transparency and make it the color you want? It will show through the transparent areas. No need to select.

...or you could do alpha to selection and then invert the selection to select the transparent areas. Then bucket fill with the color of choice.
