My wording wasn't clear, apparently. I didn't mean run "su" whilst as root, I meant use "su" to run it as root as an alternative to sudo. Does that make more sense? :)
Your example will only change user "blah" permissions for "blah" file/directory. Example above is better as it changes the permissions recursively and group ones as well.
By "chown blah blah" I actually meant "insert the command from the previous reply". I thought that would be obvious...
