You can do this:
1st way:
ls -l /path/to/file
*the third field in the ls -l output is the user and the fourth is the group
2nd way:
stat /path/to/file
$ stat py
File: `py'
Size: 32 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: 801h/2049d Inode: 429064 Links: 1
Access: (0777/-rwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 1000/ razvan) Gid: ( 1000/ razvan)
Access: 2012-07-27 17:49:05.682143441 +0300
Modify: 2012-07-01 03:58:02.848540175 +0300
Change: 2012-08-01 21:12:57.129819212 +0300
The razvan in the Uid field is the owner/user, the razvan in the Gid field is the group. 8-|
3rd way:
Get only the user and group with stat:
stat -c "%U %G" /path/to/file

As a heads up this is for GNU stat, specific to ubuntu this works, but looking for a portable (BSD supported solution) this is not the answer for you.

FWIW, on BSD (mac) this would bestat -f "%u %g" /path/to/file

Run ls
with the -l
flag to show the owner and group-owner of files and directories in the current directory (or in a specific named directory).
~$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 owner group 4096 Aug 12 19:12 Desktop
...
~$ ls -l /home/username
drwxr-xr-x 2 owner group 4096 Aug 12 19:12 Desktop
...
Run ls
with the -l
and -d
flags to show this information about the current directory itself (or about a specific named directory):
~$ ls -ld
drwxr-xr-x 2 owner group 4096 Aug 12 19:12 .
~$ ls -ld ~/Desktop
drwxr-xr-x 2 owner group 4096 Aug 12 19:12 Desktop

To get the owner and group of a directory you need
ls -ld /path/to/folder
Otherwise you get the attributes of the contents of the directory.

In Nautilus (the GUI file manager)
Find the folder corresponding to the directory
Right click it.
Select Properties
Select the Permissions Tab
Providing you have the permission to change the permissions you can change them from that window, too.

My subtle way
ls -alF /path/to/folder | grep -Ei ' ./'
sample output
drwxr-xr-x 2 some-user some-group 4096 Feb 28 02:29 ./
Of course shorter way still to bestat /path/to/folder
