I want to delete a particular database which I have named 'mysitedb' so what I did is I opened the terminal and entered the command 'dropdb mysitedb' then the error 'ERROR: must be owner of database mysitedb' pops up. I know the username and pass for the particular database but don't have a clue on deleting it. I am new to postgresql. be gentle :P

OK - this means you don't have the right credentials. You need the username/password of a postgresql user with permissions to delete that database.
NOTE: I know the user who owns it. Also I know the password.
WHAT??? Then who were you logged in as when you got the permissions error????
ANYWAY: you want the dropdb command:
dropdb -U db_owner_username -i [-h host] mysitedb
Here is the Postgresql documentation page:
