I guess you could cheat if you know how to manipulate the old DOS Date command. 
 Just set your system back, resave the file, and reset the date back to the 
current date.  It may not work, and I can’t see why anyone would want to do it, 
but that’s the best I can come up with on short notice.

Date created cannot be changed through any easy means since it's meant to 
denote when file was actually created.  What gets shown by default in the 
generic "date" field in Windows Explorer is not date created, but date 
modified.  Any time a file is edited by any program that makes any changes that 
get saved the date modified will be updated.  Date created remains fixed at the 
date the file was created on the system.

You get some interesting results when you copy files with regard to these two 
dates.  The copied versions will have a date created of the date & time when 
you pasted them.  However, their date modified will be carried over from the 
original files, so you can have something that shows a date created of today 
but a date modified of three years ago.
