I missed the earlier part of this discussion, but if the problem is to
change the year of modification date of a file to the current year, this
will do it.

tell application "Finder"
set foo to item 1 of the selection
set the modDate to the modification date of foo
set the year of the modDate to 2001
set the modification date of foo to the modDate
end tell
