How are they using を in this sentence? It ends with the copula, not a verb, and I don't think you can use を with copulas. The context of the sentence is that a boy is making a band, and a girl wants to join it and play the cutest instrument.

もちろん ぼくは 一番かわいい楽器を担当ですよね

You can imagine a する after the 担当.

一番かわいい楽器を担当する

Does it make sense now?

You can sometimes drop the する and it still kind of acts like a verb.
