AppleScript changing file creation date?

Hi

I know there are OSAXen that can do this in Mac OS 9 or earlier, however I'd like to be able to change file creation dates in Mac OS X from within AppleScript. I have a bunch of digital photos in various folders that have bizarro creation dates thanks to a bug in some capture software, and I'd like to be able to fix them based on the capture date that's contained inside the image files. I can read the capture date no problems using other software and AppleScript, but can't find any way to change the actual file creation date. TIA.
