It appears that it is called SetFileTime and apparently, you can change 
creation time of a file with it.

BOOL WINAPI SetFileTime(
  __in      HANDLE /hFile/,
  __in_opt  const FILETIME* /lpCreationTime/,
  __in_opt  const FILETIME* /lpLastAccessTime/,
  __in_opt  const FILETIME* /lpLastWriteTime/
);

I'm sure it would  be just a matter of converting the times and return 
value.
