Nutt Yes modified and created behave differently when transcluded etc... I don't believe this mechanisium has being documented. They are also rightfully excluded from edit in the edit template. It is however possible for you to do this with other fields.
For custom dates we use the view widget and the date or relative date parameters to display dates and there we choose the format as desired as you can with created and modified as well. Relative date is a user friendly form of days to today but not so helpful for code. When updating a date field It is possible to turn timestamp off so modified does not update. A good standard is to save dates with utc in the format if a user outside your time zone is going to use your wiki.
