I do not think that changing the owner of a file can be done with IDL,
since you need to be a privileged user to do it, and you usually do
not want to be a privileged user while running IDL.

On unix, one might try SPAWN-ing a command line using sudo (like 'sudo
chown newuser file') from the IDL session to temporarily get the
required privileges, but I have not tried it and I am not saying that
it is a good idea.

Depending on your workflows, you might want to do the file-protection
stuff outside of IDL, before you package the data to the "hostile" users.
