Windows unfortunately does not include such a command line tool, but it should
be possible to do that with a powershell command which is executed with the
Shell() function.
so for example this command here
put shell("powershell (ls c:/users/matthias/test.txt).CreationTime = get-date
2019-12-24-00:00")
would change the creation date of the file c:/users/matthias/test.txt) to the
24th December 2019 at 00:00
If you want to change the last modification time instead of the creation time
then use the parameter LastWriteTime instead of CreationTime
put shell("powershell (ls c:/users/matthias/test.txt).LastWriteTime = get-date
2019-12-24-00:00")
