I gotta say that 'chown' is pretty straightforeward:

  CHOWN(1)                                                 CHOWN(1)

  NAME
       chown - change file owner and group

  SYNOPSIS
       chown [options] user[:group] file...

       POSIX options: [-R] [--]

       GNU  options  (shortest  form):  [-cfhvR]  [--dereference]
       [--reference=rfile] [--help] [--version] [--]

If you can't handle that, just wait until you try to get your head around 
'tar':

  TAR(1)                                                     TAR(1)
