chmod 2775 /your/directory
This will assign group ownership of any files created in
/your/directory to the group that owns that directory.
It won't, however, change user ownership. Allowing that sort of
operation would be a great avenue for a denial-of-service attach on
any filesystem with quotas.

chmod 3775 /your/directory
This combines the 2775 trick mentioned above with an o+s operation.
Setting the "sticky bit" on the all-users permissions allows only
owners to dispose of files. See the permissions on /tmp or /var/tmp
for an example.
