Zope objects don't have a creation date, but they have a modification date which is called bobobase_modification_time which is a callable function. This can't be modified as far as I know other than setting this date to todays date and time. Don't rely on this date for anything.
You're better off setting your own date on every object. How you do this depends but if you use Plone it shouldn't be hard if you use archetypes.
Stock CMF content stores the creation data in a separate attribute, 'creation_data'. That attribute has mo "mutator" method, and therefore cannot be assigned by untrusted code. You should be able to set the value from an ExternalMethod, however.
Since the original posting was a cross-posting from the plone-users list I assume that we are talking about a Plone specific issue. And ATContentTypes defines the setCreationDate() mutator for that...but I explained that to the asker already two times but he seems to death on both ears :-/ -aj
