There are 2 new verbs in Frontier 5.1.4 that can do this: setTimeCreated and setTimeModified. They don't yet have docserver pages so I'll give you this snippet from the change notes--
http://www.scripting.com/frontier5/changes/514.html
Added two new basic verbs: setTimeCeated (adr, time) and setTimeModified (adr, time). These verbs complement the existing timeCreated and timeModified verbs. They can be usefull for keeping a database structure in sync with a folder hierarchy on disk, for example.
Note that a search for setTimeCreated in the search engine did not bring up this page, because setTimeCreated is misspelled. setTimeModified found it, however.
