Note though that you can't set it to an arbitrary value, because the
ZODB will set it to the current time when the transaction commits.

If that's all you want, it's sufficient to do something like:

some_image._p_changed = 1

(and then, if you're running in eg. a zopectl debug prompt, import
transaction; transaction.commit())
