Specifically, how do I turn this:

With the KOMA-Script classes scrbook and scrreprt you can use \chaptermark{...}, \sectionmark, \chaptermarkformat{...}, \sectionmarkformat{...} to set and format the running headings. A little example:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,BCOR10mm,DIV11,toc=listof]{scrbook}
\usepackage[nouppercase,headsepline]{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\clearscrheadfoot
\automark[section]{chapter}
\chead{\headmark}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\chapter{A numbered chapter}
\section{Test section}
\lipsum[1-5]
\chapter*{A chapter without number}
\renewcommand*{\chaptermarkformat}{}
\renewcommand*{\sectionmarkformat}{}
\chaptermark{}
\sectionmark{A chapter without number}
\lipsum[1-30]
\end{document}
Update
Since KOMA-Script version 3.26 you can option afterindent=false to avoid the paragraph indentation of the first text line after the chapter title.
\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{showframe}
\RedeclareSectionCommand[
beforeskip=0pt,
afterindent=false% <- added
]{chapter}
\begin{document}
\chapter{foo}
\blindtext
\end{document}
The result is the same as in the original answer below.
With afterindent=false or afterindent=true a negative value of beforeskip results in a negative skip above the chapter title (needs version 3.26 or newer).
Note: With KOMA-Script versions 3.22 - 3.25 you have to set beforeskip to a negative value to avoid the paragraph indentation in the first text line following the chapter title: beforeskip=-1sp. For more information see the documentation or Adjusting spacing around section/subsection titles with koma-script
Original answer
With KOMA-Script Version 3.15 or newer you can use \RedeclareSectionCommand or \RedeclareSectionCommands to change the space above or below the chapter title.
\RedeclareSectionCommand[beforeskip=0pt]{chapter}
Code:
\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{blindtext}% dummy text
\usepackage{showframe}% to show the page layout
\RedeclareSectionCommand[beforeskip=0pt]{chapter}
\begin{document}
\chapter{foo}
\blindtext
\end{document}
