Hi,
Take the black going to the light off the center and hook where the white going to the light is now....then hook the white to the light with the other white and you will be good to go...You almost had it right...

You are replacing single pole light switch?
Single pole switch has 3 wires: black and red and bare copper
New device has 4 different colored screws: green, dark, brass, silver
Bare copper goes to green screw.
Black wire goes to dark screw
Red wire to brass screw
Nothing on silver screw for a moment. Test circuit and make sure light turns on-off.
If lights works, then good so far.
Now let look at silver screw. Neutral wire has to connect to silver screw.
In back of your electrical box are white wires twisted together and covered with wire nut.
These are neutral wires.
You must connect another short piece of insulated wire to these neutral wires and run that wire to silver screw.
The neutral wire will complete circuit to receptacle.
If you do not have neutral wire, then receptacle will not work in that box without additional wiring.
Hook up neutral wire to silver screw.
Now turn on power and click switch again.
If circuit breaker trips, then reverse your red and black wires.
Otherwise this should be correct wiring.

Question is not clear.
What kind of device is the combo device replacing?
Are you replacing outlet with new combo device?
Why does the combo device already have 2 black wires?
Here's what we need to know to answer your question correctly without guessing.
Add a comment and say what kind of device is being replaced with combo device.
Say exactly what wires are on old device and what color screw wire is connected to.
Say what the outlet is doing.
Say what color screws that each wire is connected to on outlet.
Screw color is key to understanding where you are.
Each wire that you have now connects to a certain screw color, and we need to know that information to give you professional answer.

Ok you have GFCI combination switch-plug.
Wires coming out of back of device are connected to "Load" wires.
Load are the black and white wires that go to fan, light, motor.
The black and white wires coming from circuit breaker connect to terminals marked "Line"
Look at back of device for markings.
Black wire from breaker goes to brass screw, white wire goes to silver screw.
There is one more set of screws on device. Device usually arrives with tape over these two screws.
This is what those screws are for: If you are working in a junction box, then three cables enter box.
One cable is for Line wires from breaker box.
Second cable goes to Load (light-fan-motor) that is controlled by switch.
Third cable goes forward to another switch or outlet >> and those wires connect to last set of screws on combo device. Black to brass and white to silver.
