Not with standard Applescript. I'm sure there's an OSAX somewhere that
will let you do it.

>(This works for modification dates.)

Well according to the Item object in the Finder's library,

creation date date [r/o] -- the date on which the item was created
modification date date -- the date on which the item was last modified

The creation date is read-only, but the modification date is not.
