Does anyone know how to change file, directory and drive permissions in Suse 9.3 Pro?

chmod changes permissions, chown changes ownership

So for example, if I was in a directory already with a file named blah, and I wanted to change ownership to user, I would do (as root): chown user blah
And now lets say I wanted to make blah executable, I would do: chmod +x blah
