    Get what is the modification Date of your file.
    Change your files content and then you can change the modification date by touch command.For example

    touch -m -t 09082000 file
to change the modification time to 8 sep, 20:00.

    You can change the modification date to the past too, for 10/15/1998 12:30 the command would be something like this:

    touch -m -t 19981015123000 file
