Export the common configuration

witadmin exportcommonprocessconfig /collection:CollectionURL /p:ProjectName /f:"DirectoryPath\CommonConfiguration.xml"

Edit the common configuration

<Weekends>
  <DayOfWeek>Saturday</DayOfWeek>
  <DayOfWeek>Sunday</DayOfWeek>
</Weekends>

Import the common configuration

witadmin importcommonprocessconfig /collection:CollectionURL /p:ProjectName /f:"DirectoryPath\CommonConfiguration.xml"

If you want to make it the default for further team projects you create, you need to export the entire process template, updated it and update it.

the solution can be found here http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2792800-burndown-chart-should-exclude-non-work-days

in the web environment of your tfs server, go to the gear in the top right corner. depending on your authentication you can see the settings tab, if you click it, you will see checkboxes in front of the days listed. default only weekdays are enabled.
