Read the following man pages:

chmod
chgrp
chown
passwd
groups
newgrp

'chmod' and/or 'chown' alone will do what you want, but it never hurts to
know too much. :) You can get quite funky with groups and things; they're
nice. Hell, just do a 'man -k group' and spend a few hours. :)

It looks like root owns your HTML docs, so just do 'chown <user> <files>'
and you'll be the new owner. yay!
