Windows?  No.  After a time change both the creation and modification
times will be reported by the OS as having changed.

I'd expect that using a script like this could play havoc with backups.
Backup software generally compares file modification times, so if you
change all your modification times to same as the creation time then
your backup software will want to backup all the files.  Then in the
future, if you always reset the mod time same as the creation time
after you've updated a file, then changes you make to the file may not
been recognized and the updated file may not be backed up.
