chown -R username '/absolute/path/to/folder'
chgrp -R usergroup '/absolute/path/to/folder'

Some ftp clients (FileZilla, FlashFX) can change permissions. Do you have cPanel or similar tool installed on server?. Otherwise ask hosting company for help.

root user only can change owner/group
if you have a web filemanager load CMSMS with filemanager (delete via ftp and load via filemanager but BACKUP before) or build an php script with a shell
