CMS running with root:root as user and group

Don't do that.

How to set all files with www-data:www-data and make the files executable?

chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/your/magento

and make the Apache running as www-data user.

Open the Apache configuration file - httpd.conf, and change User, Group to www-data. Don't forget to restart. – quanta Aug 22 '11 at 11:14
