You can change the canvas size under Document Properties (Shift + Ctrl + D). Inkscape always uses 90 dpi for display, but you can export the page with 300 dpi into PNG format. If you're saving into a vector format the dpi doesn't matter, except if you need to rasterize some effects. You can tweak the dpi of rasterized objects when saving as EPS or PDF.
