How can I set a file's creation date as the modified date?

e.g. File is made on Monday, edited on Tuesday. On Wednesday I want the date modified and date created to be set to Tuesday.

Thanks!

Which Apple OS are you running? OS X runs on top of Unix and Unix file systems do not track the creation date. – garyjohn Aug 28 '11 at 1:54
@garyjohn OS X has separate Created dates and Modified dates in the get info box... not sure what you mean. – Vervious Aug 29 '11 at 4:20
@Nano8Blazex: I guess I mean I have a limited understanding of OS X. From a little Googling it appears that OS X does track the creation time but that not all programs access it.
