NO, chmod is used for file permissions, to change the user to root, you
have to use the chusr, or chuser command. I forget if it has the e in it
or not. You have to be root to use this command, but that is the only way
to change the owner of the file. Did you try using a sticky bit for the
file? If it has to be run as root, apply a sticky bit ( chmod a+s *file* )
and that let's you run the file as yourself, but you look like root. It
can be a dangerous thing, so only use it if you know that the file cannot
hurt anything. Good luck.
