When you wipe the device, it will not wipe the tenants management profile (very useful). so once they sign in using thier credentials, it will synch with intune and deploy the ncessary configuration, conditional access policies and apps.

Hello Abhi__BR
Not very clear what exactly you are trying to achieve, the device ownership can be changed by navigating to Devices and from a specific device this value can be changed under Properties and Device Ownership.
If your goal is to change the enrollment method then you can either use Apple Business Manager or if you have a more local setup then Apple Configurator 2 would also help you get your iDevices Supervised. Or if you want to "un-supervise" existing devices then that can be done only via Factory Reset and you have to be sure those devices aren't part of automatic enrollment.
