Option #1, try deleting the file first then re-uploading using FTP.

Option #2, if that didn't work, *obtain a shell* (SSH is preferred to telnet)
into the box and, as r00t, use the chown command:

chown [options] newowner file(s)

type: man chown
for more information on how to use this command and it's options.  If you have
a lot of files you need to change, read up on the -R (recursive) option.  This
will traverse subdirectories to and change all the files, just be very
careful...
