No it is not. bobobase_modification_time is a ZODB-level attribute that 
cannot be changed by application code.

You should change your object and give it another attribute that holds 
a date-style value that you can manipulate as you wish, and add the 
necessary index/metadata column into your catalog to have it indexed as 
well.
