I have over a dozen files with ownership of 330:102, I have no idea how they got like this, I can't change the ownership, perms or anything, even as root. Does anyone know how these files got like this, and if so, how can I change it back to what it was suppose to be without totally creating new files. I mean there is no user that exists as 330. Thanks.

Root should be able to chmod any local file, regardless of the existing user. Perhaps the files are NFS mounted? If so, you'll have to run the chmod on a system that has NFS root access to the filesystem.
Some sort of reduced privilege could prevent it as well, but that's less common.
