You don't need sed to do so, that may just complicate it
I would suggest find/exec. Example below will find in current directory (.)
all files belonging to user 5001 (UID unless you have a user named "5001") and
change the owner to 0 (root).
find . -user 5001 -exec chown 0 {} \;
Second example, finds files in current directory (.) that belong to group 5001
(GID unless you have a group named "5001") and change the group to SOMEGROUP
find . -group 5001 -exec chgrp SOMEGROUP {} \;
Notice that chgrp, chown, and the user/group parameters of find will accept
either a user/group name or a UID/GID

You can probably do this in one command by using the output of 'find' as input
to 'sed' or similar.
