Only the superuser can change ownership of a file, when a PHP script creates a file the user which runs Apache is the owner.
However it's possible to set other filepermissions by editing site.ini and changing the permission settings in the groups FileSettings to 0777 for dirs and 0666 for files which allows everyone to read/write them. This allows you to remove the files after they have been created by PHP. Note: This is considered a security risk since everyone can read the files created, for instance passwords could be present.
You could also ask the admin of the hoster to add you to the apache group or something similar.

It's ContentSettings/ViewCaching in settings/site.ini.

Thanks for you help on this. I changed the default mod settings as a temporary soution while I'm developing the site.
It works for now, which is good enough.
