Hi Dkuud,
According to your description, you created a job then the owner of job was changed by DBA. After that, you would like to be granted permissions to modify the job steps.
Based on the Permissions section of this article(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189827.aspx), it’s clear that only members of sysadmin can update a job step owned by another user.
So in your scenario, if you want to modify the job steps, you should be the member of sysadmin. Please refer to the steps below to add your login to sysadmin role.
Open SQL Server Management Studio.
Login with Administrator.
Open Security\Logins, right click “your login” then choose Properties.
Click Server Roles on the left pane, check the sysadmin box, click OK.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
