wp-content – permissions for files/folders created by apache

If you care about security you should not install themes and plugins from the wordpress admin. Either install them by uploading via FTP or use WP-CLI for that.

There is just no way to change file owners when the script is running in the context of the web server, therefor the only way to maintain reasonable file permissions is to avoid uploading code from the admin.
