There's a utility called "touch", which will do this. It's common on
Unix/Linux systems, and it's part of the Cygwin distribution that you can
use on Windows. I wouldn't be surprised if there were versions of touch
available for Windows outside of Cygwin, either.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can get that from CFDIRECTORY. If you're on
Windows, you can access the COM interface to the filesystem:
<cfscript>
strFile = "d:\sample_file.txt";
fso = CreateObject("COM", "Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f = fso.GetFile(strFile);
WriteOutput(DateFormat(f.DateCreated));
</cfscript>
