No, this can't be done, and you should be very careful fooling around
with this.  The log files will indeed be owned by the user who starts
apache (usually root).  You can use a piped-log process or a log
rotation script to change ownership, but be sure never to have root
writing to a location controlled by another user, since this can lead
to major security holes.
