"I'm done my homework/the dishes"

I know that this has been discussed previously, but would someone be able to explain to me why it would be improper to use the phrase "I'm done my homework" or "I'm done the dishes?" I know that the prevailing opinion is that those phrases are incorrect, but I would like to know the mechanics behind this.
