Hey

change owner of a file:
#chown username filename
change group of a file
#chgrp groupname filename
change permission
#chmod 751 filename

for more infos check the manpages of each command

>Oviwan: change owner of a file:

chown(1) can also change the group:
$ chown username:groupname filename

>#chmod 751 filename

You can also use symbolic names:
$ chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=x filename

If you just want to add execute to everyone:
$ chmod a+x filename

you can also use chmod +/- r/w/x file/dir to add or remove permissions.
here r stands for read, w for write and x for execute.

>it's giving error user does not have permission to execute, how to assign the permission to user.

(Typically you assign permission first to the file.)

You are going to have to show the command and error message

If you linked and got unsats, your executable won't have execute permission.
If you create a script, you have to add execute permission.

Here the scenario:

$ touch blah.sh
$ ./blah.sh
sh: ./blah.sh: Execute permission denied.
$ ll blah.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 0 Aug 3 12:55 blah.sh
$ chmod 751 blah.sh
$ ll blah.sh
-rwxr-x--x 1 oracle dba 0 Aug 3 12:55 blah.sh
$ ./blah.sh

hope this helps
