change root to user

[sanda199]

hi everyone, let me ask you one question. I am using ubuntu 11.10. I wanna change root to user.

ls -l

It showed

-rwxr-xr-x root root socket.o

I wanna change "root" to my user name. How can i change it? thanks

chmod u + rw PATH/TO/FILE

This will give you read and write permissions.

Let me know if that worked.
