Mind you; I am NOT an OS X user; so play at your own risk
chown will certainly work to reset permissions after the fact. The best way to ensure that calibre sets the right permissions to begin with is to change the default umask (as you would on any other Unix system). This thread at apple's discussion forums covers a variety of ways to do this. Probably the easiest is to use TinkerTool.

Happy reading & umask setting...
