I do not think that there is a tool to do it, but you can search for third party extension.

If you do not find anything, you can use some custom code.
The code below is an example of what you need to do. The code should be executed by an administrator.
You can try it using the javascript console in Share.

Be careful that if there are too many documents created by "usera", this solution could fail or could update only the first 1000 documents: the lucene query does not return more than 1000 documents by default. If the server is slow, the javascript console can time out and rollback all the changes.
If only 1000 documents have been updated, you can of course execute the script again until all the documents are updated.
If the update fails, reduce the max number of documents that can be updated.

A better solution would be to implement this code in java as a custom action.


var nodes = search.luceneSearch('@cm\\:creator:"usera"');

for (var i in nodes) {
  var node = nodes;

  node.addAspect("cm:ownable");
  node.properties["cm:owner"] = "userb";
  node.save();
}
