The story of change owner and group is still not clear to me. Can you clarify the scenario, why there is a need to change the owner and group and who needs this.
In the mean time, few lines for what I can interpret. 1) Do, you want to change owner and group permission of a directory tree? If yes, you can use recursive option of chown. 2) If you want to change the owner and group permission for specific files in a directory tree, you can use find and chown to get the desired results. 3) If it is not periodic use "at command".
