Is there any way to set a file's creation date?

As Paul already said, a file's creation date isn't supposed to be changed at a user level; it is that kind of a file's metainformation that couldn't be modified without raising the question "is this still the very same file?".

Intersestingly, traditional unix doesn't know anything about a file's creation date and nevertheless lives very well...

This said, such a change may sometimes be needed and justified. So, if you have installed the Developer Tools, you may use their "SetFile" command.

HTH,
Axel
