You could change it, if really set to it, if needed you could include 
MD5 of timestamp at closure of the file. But this would be difficult and 
the moment the file is opened this would be reset to current date and time.
Altering creation or modification stamps of a file would serve no 
purpose. The contents of a file governs its validity, not its timestamp. 
A false timestamp could also prove an error within system setup. Or a 
glitch in time-management. It wouldn't prove any wrong doing.
