There's an ALTER TABLE command for this in current sources, but I think
it's new in 7.1.  In older releases, you have to reach in by hand and
change the 'relowner' field of the table's pg_class row to match the
'usesysid' field of the pg_shadow entry for the desired new owner.

Working out the exact UPDATE command to use is left as an exercise
for the student ;-)

Hi, there,

I believe that you can use iat least:
pg_dump -t table -f out dbname
then vi out
change the owner (first line -- connnect ...)
then drop the old table and reload new table by
psql dbname < out

If your table have no index or any constraint, 
you can use SELECT * into newtable
then if you have the previlage.
