That could be something to do with the FTP client or with the umask
setting on the server or possibly something else. I don't really know
and won't guess; I'll only be off-base.

Not even close. :-)
You're trying to modify the permission and ownership of a file, not
change the apache user. Typically the apache user will only belong to
the apache group (check this with "groups apache"). So you might do
something like
chgrp apache settings.py
chmod g+r settings.py
