Refer to this Article on how to get the User Details from the Field.

public static SPUser GetSPUser(SPListItem item, string key) {
     SPFieldUser field = item.Fields[key] as SPFieldUser;

     if( field != null) {   
         SPFieldUserValue fieldValue = field.GetFieldValue(item[key].ToString()) as SPFieldUserValue; 

         if(fieldValue != null)     
            return fieldValue.User; 
      }
      return null; 
 }

SPUser spUser=GetSPUser(splistItem,"Owner");
String sUserName=(spUser!=null)?spUser.UserName:null;
