Can I change the time that a file was created?

I use a Photo Management Program, called Brilliant Photo, that has a
faciltiy to change the date of a photo, but not the time. The program sorts
the photos by time within date, so if the time on the camera was incorrect,
then the photo appears in the wrong sequence.

Thanks for your help

Touch.exe (http://pobox.com/~stevemil) can do this.
 
I am a bit confused on how to execute this program.

Is this the correct command line to change the Modified
Time to 3:30pm for one file called Photo.jpg

C:/My Programs/touch.exe /m/t15:30 C:/Data/Test/Photo.jpg

You're close. Watch those slashes: forward slashes (/) are for
switches, backslashes are for folders. Also: If you want to
maintain the current date of the file then you must specify it
with the /d switch. If you don't then the file will assume today's
date.

C:\My Programs\touch.exe /t 15:30 C:\Data\Test\Photo.jpg
