    I don't know if its possible to modify the ownership of a newly created file.
    He who creates, becomes owner. You can use the sgid bit to modify the group
    permission to follow that of the parent directory.
    You may want to re-think your upload plan. Perhaps there is a way to accomplish
    what you want with the existing rules of linux permissions.
    Why do you want to change ownerships?
