EmailTemplate emailTemp = [select id,name from EmailTemplate].get(0);
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
email.setTargetObjectId(Trigger.new[0].OwnerId);
email.setTemplateId(emailTemp.id);
Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { email });

You can go through This documentaion on outbound email sending through apex, howevere i think it is not a good practice to send emails from trigger(as there exists limit on how many emails you can send, i think you can only upto 10 of those). See this for governer limit Govener limits

You can use workflow if your logic is implementable through workflow.

You can add the blue colored line and see what happens

 

trigger EmailSendingToOwner on ObjectName(after update) {
EmailTemplate emailTemp = [select id,name from EmailTemplate].get(0);
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
email.setTargetObjectId(Trigger.new[0].OwnerId);
email.setTemplateId(emailTemp.id);

email.setSaveAsActivity(false);
Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { email });
}
