</ep:Response>
</CreateWorkspaceResult>
</CreateWorkspaceResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

and my xslt:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs" xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/addressing"
xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd"
xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"
xmlns:ep="www.sample.com/response" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="ep:Workspace">

<xsl:value-of select="//ep:field[@name='Owner']"/>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
the above will retrieve the element "owner" value as you can see the value is "John" and now i want to assign this to a variable,how to do it?

Thanks.

Try an XSLT tutorial, you are asking a lot of basic questions you should be able to find an answer to yourself by reading a tutorial on XPath and XSLT.
You can bind a value to a variable using xsl:variable e.g.

Code:

<xsl:variable name="v1" select="//ep:field[@name = 'Owner']"/>
