Owner/Permissions

Hi I am using CMS sites on my VPS and I am having the issue of files and directories being unwritable. This is due to the CMS defaulting Apache as owner, so if I change ownership of all files and folders to Apache it works, however as soon as I ftp a file it becomes unwritable because it is owned by the ftp owner, namely the domain user id.
The three questions I have is:
1, Are there security issues with having apache as owner?
2. Is there a way of assigning two owners to the directories?
3. Or does anyone have a suggestion that may fix the issue?

Thanks in advance
