When I setup a test sql server 2008 r2 database, I just took all the defaults. As I found out latter, my domain\username is the dbo. However I would like to change the dbo to another person in the company and/or possibly use a sql login just created for this purpose. Thus can you tell me who sql and/or systems stored procedure I would use to change the person assigned to this database as dbo.

sp_changedowner changes the owner of the current database. This is a deprecated feature.
Consider using ALTER AUTHORIZATION from now on.
