I donot seem to understand the schema concept in SQL SERVER.
My understanding of a schema is that I could potentially group a few db objects (tables, views & sps) from [dbo] and name them as something 'UserSchema' and set up roles/users to view only these.
But I am not able to do so in SQL SERVER 2005. Do I have to release those db objects from the ownership of [dbo] before I assign a new schema owner?

You have to first have your new schema created. Then you need to alter that schema and transfer the object(s).

You don't really "name" then the schema. I guess you reference them that way, but really you are grouping them, just like a role.
Objects have an owner, separate from the schema.
As Sean mentioned, you create a schema, which is an empty container. Then you move objects into this schema, if you find a need, and grant rights for the schema.
However you don't need to do this. You can grant rights on the objects, or use a role to grant rights. Schemas offer some other value, like the same named object in a new schema (for ETL or auditing).
