Wait a moment you are not owner?
Is it the ownership you want? then you will have to use chown -R but need to be root...
or cp -R the directory to newdirectory and then new directory shoud be owned by you.
Remove then or rename the original and replces it by the new.
Unfortunaely I cant test at the moment bu it should work...

All the best
