Can I change creation date of some file using Python in Linux?

You can modify the date created by copying a file. The file's created date becomes the modified date and the current date (when the file is copied) becomes the created date. You can copy a file on your PC to check.
Unfortunately, this isn't possible. You can view certain and change certain file attributes in File Explorer, but you can't change the last viewed, edited, or modified dates.
The only way to change the creation date of your PDF file to a date other than the current date is to set your computer clock to the desired date before removing the file properties.

File access, change and modification time (remember UNIX or Linux never stores file creation time, this is favorite question asked in UNIX/Linux sys admin job interview)
