Need way to set the Creation date of a file via OSX

I had been using an OS9 AppleScript to set the Creation date to the Modification date of JPG files. Haven't found a way to do the same on OS X. Can it be done? I can get the file Properties but can't set them.

Why, you may ask, would anyone want to do that? Because the Canon Power Shot camera sets the Creation date to null, and the Modification date to moment of creation. Repeated attempts to get Canon to recognize the problem failed. AppleScript OS9 saved the day.
