look up the find command

First, make sure the command works by seeing what it prints:

find /usr/bin -maxdepth 1  -daystart -ctime 28 -print

Then change the owner

find /usr/bin -maxdepth 1 -daystart -ctime 28 -exec chown root.mysql  \{\}  \;


Another good option would be to look at xargs if you have the arguments on 
stdout.
