Could you tell me if I can say "proudly own that hat" equals to "become the proud owner of that hat"

No, they are not the same.
"I proudly own that hat." - I own the hat right now.
"I become the proud owner of that hat." - Incomplete thought; needs more information:
"I become the proud owner of that hat as soon as I finish school."
