I'd say something like that (generic table names) :
If you're confident :
UPDATE stuff SET owner = (CASE IF owner='A' THEN 'B' ELSE 'A' END) WHERE
owner IN ('A','B')
If you're paranoid :
UPDATE stuff SET owner = (CASE IF owner='A' THEN 'B' ELSE IF owner='B'
THEN 'A' ELSE owner END) WHERE owner IN ('A','B')
