If I understood your subject right, you want to change the group owner
of a file, and not the owner?  Try chgrp.  With

chown joe. file

you change the ownership of file to joe, _and_ the group ownership of
file to the default group of joe, and with

chown joe.oldboys file

the group owner will become the oldboys group.
