Is it possible to Update the Name of the Contract Owner?

Hi,

When the Owner of an account has been changed , I would like to change as well the owner on the related Contract.
I wrote this trigger but it gives me an error, Does someone see where is the issue?
Many thanks for your time.

[Code]
trigger ChangeAccountOwnerOnContract on Account(after insert,After update){

for(Account Acc :Trigger.new){
List<Contract> C = [select Owner.Id from Contract where Account.Id = :Acc.Id];

for (Contract Ctrct : C)
{
Ctrct.Owner.Id = Acc.Owner.Id ;
}
update C;
}
}
[/code]

Error: Apex trigger ChangeAccountOwnerOnContract caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: ChangeAccountOwnerOnContract: execution of AfterUpdate

caused by: System.DmlException: Update failed. First exception on row 0 with id 80020000000vULAAA2; first error: INVALID_FIELD, Cannot specify both an external ID reference Owner and a salesforce id, OwnerId: []: Trigger.ChangeAccountOwnerOnContract: line 14, column 1

Can you change the Owner to OwnerId. Hope this will work.

contact con =[select id,ownerid from contact where id='003F000000pdYZy'];
con.ownerid='005F0000002D0t3';
update con;
