New to Visualforce: can't get Opportunity Owner as an input field

I'm new to Visualforce....really new!

I need to allow my users to modify the Owner of an Opportunity but my code isn't working. Here it is:

<apex:inputField required="true" value="{!opp.owner.name}"/>

When I look at the page with data the Owner is a non-editable field, but all the other fields (with exactly the same code) are editable!

What am I missing? Is Owner a special field that needs to be handled in a different way?!

Any help you can provide is much appreciated!
