How to change user of SD card from Root

I just recently got a Chromebook and now have Linux installed on it, and I am trying to get steam games onto my sd card. I initially had the issue in that it would not install anything on a drive with no execute permissions, so I reformatted the SD card into ext4 with Gparted. The issue I have now is that I cannot change permissions, and it has the user listed as root. I have tried multiple 'fixes' that I have found online, but none have been of any help so far. I tried just changing the permissions sudo chown yourusername /media/disk/ but of course, that did nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
