Short version: Linux does not allow non-privileged use of chown. You have
to be root to do it.

Longer version:
Actually Linux supports capabilities. You can give the capability to use
chown to a process. This would require a wrapper
and the use of sudo for safety. It is much easier to use sudo directly for
chown :)
