Yes.  Simply change the owner of /dir to theuser, but make sure the
parent of /dir (which is / or root because of course you did not give
a POOR EXAMPLE which has a different number of slashes than the actual
directory!!) is owned by root, and isn't writable by "group" or "other".

Since / should already be owned by root, there's nothing required
there, but you can verify its ownership and permissions with ls -ld /
