you do not want to set userid because it will do the opposite of what you want. The current user will inherit the owner's permissions. What you can do is create a group and make this one guy part of that group or you can change his group to be the same as yours. If you went with creating a new group and adding this guy to it, you now need to change the group ownership of the file or directory:
chgrp newgroup filename
chgrp newgroup filename

i will explain my problem in detail.
there are three users A, B and C. A is the owner of file file.tar. User A want to give full permission of this file to B not C. All users are from different groups.
So can u tell me how i can do this.?

I thought we did. Users can belong to more than one group. Have A and B belong to a common group. Add B to group A for example. Then chmod to give group the same permission as A. Since C is neither owner or group, he will only have "other" permissions.
