It's cheating. Files are created when they're created. I can't imagine any
decent use for wanting to change the creation date. Why do you want to do
this?
I do it all the time for QXP files created before i had the XT
graypict which allows you to save a substantially reduced size file
as it grays out the picture preview of every linked graphic whilst
retaining all the picture information. I open the files then do a
save as using a quickey which invokes the special graypict save
conditions, then change the files creation and modification dates
back to the old file using File Buddy- back then we didnt reference
files by a unique number but rather by the date sent to press (i.e
the last modification date). To be honest I don't do it often enough
to warrant investing time in an applescript to automate it (mainly
because I'm not that good!!).
