The ability to do this would result in serious Denial-of-Service attacks
through exhausting disk space. Find another way of doing what you are
trying to do, or create a highly restricted loophole in chown's security,
perhaps with sudo. Perhaps if you detail your intentions for the script,
we can devise a better way of doing it?
