Mahendra,

Every database is owned by some login - sa by default, but then by the
database creator's login if not sa. Inside each database, the owner is known
as 'dbo', which is just a generic alias for the database owner as a user in
the database, not the actual owner login name.

You can change the database owner using the sp_changedbowner system stored
procedure.
