I agree with Tom with a few comments / additions:

On Task list: a common term for "take" is "acquire". So you might name the button that performs this operation "acquire". In some applications users will acquire the task from the tasklist, and the act of acquiring will navigate to the TaskInstance page. On the other hand, you could let the user navigate to the TaskInstance page and then acquire (but this would be a less common way of designing this).

When the user acquires a task, you should set the actorId (this is probably obvious), and also start it (this is good for reporting purposes). Having acquired a task from the group task list, the user should be able to release it (set ActorId back to null) on the TaskInstance page, and close the page.
