Zope knows about two separate notions of "ownership":

     *  executable ownership which is abused by CMF for "Creator"

     *  the local role "Owner"

Executable ownership would only play a role for executable objects but
not content objects (such objects are in your Plone site) were it not
abuse for "Creator". The local role controls the permissions on the
object.

In your special case, you probably want to change both the
executable owner (to get "Creator" right) and reassign the
local role.

Someone else already told you how to reassign the local role.

To change executable ownership, "AccessControl.Owned.Owned"
contains the private method "changeOwnership".
As it is private, it cannot be used in TTW code.
You must use an External Method.
