What should I do? The crontabs located in /etc/cron.d/ contain an extra field that determines which user they run as. For examples, check (randomly selecting some from my own system) cricket, exim or mailman. Alternatively, if you're in a cron that runs as root you can prefix each statement with something like 'su - USERNAME -c command' (being aware that each statement doesn't inherit information (such as pwd, environment, etc) from the previous ones).
