Ok after some tweaking based on your idea I came up with
<jsp:scriptlet>
<![CDATA[
Content activePage = Resource.getActivePage(request);
MetaData md = activePage.getMetaData();
out.write(md.getModificationDate().getTime().toLocaleString());
// ... or set it for multiple use
// pageContext.setAttribute("lastModified",
//md.getModificationDate().getTime().toLocaleString());
]]>
</jsp:scriptlet>
And it does the trick....
Question remains though why not expose MetaData via setNode tag....Seems
like a logical idea...Something like:
<!-- exposes the current node for use with jstl -->
<cms:setNode var="currentPage" scope="request"/>
${currentPage.metaData.lastModified)
I am not a big fan of the scriptlets....:)))

Amir,
It is actually quite easy to access the page's meta data. The Content
class has a method called 'getMetaData()' to retrieve the Meta Data
of a page. The result of the method is a MetaData object, offering
you a lot of methods to directly read meta data of a content page.
Here is a simple sample:
<%
HierarchyManager hm = MgnlContext.getHierarchyManager("website");
Content myPage = hm.getContent("/en/about-magnolia");
MetaData md = myPage.getMetaData();
out.write(md.getModificationDate());
%>
Check the Magnolia API to see what methods are available in the
MetaData object.
