   sudo find /path/to/where/the/temp/dirs/are/located -type d -name   
   "tmp_dir_*" -exec chown user:group "{}" \;

   sudo find root_dir -type d -name "tmp_dir_*" -exec chown user:group "{}" \;   
      
   If you want all directories regardless name, then remove the '-name   
   "tmp_dir_*"' part.   
   If you want to change all directories and files, then the simple one is just   
      
   sudo chown -R user:group root_dir/*   
      
   or if you want the root dir to change too   
      
   sudo chown -R user:group root_dir   
      
      
      
   Or you can do:   
      
   sudo -u user mkdir -p   
   root_dir/tmp_dir_1/{not_temp,tmp_dir_2,tmp_dir_3}/{dir_4,tmp_dir_5}   
      
   and all the directories are already owned by the user, if the user can   
   write to the directory where the command is run.
