Set Created By value in Sitecore

Question

Is there any way we can set values of Created By or Created Date item fields in Sitecore from code behind?

Thanks

Just update it using the item's fields, for example:

using (new Sitecore.SecurityModel.SecurityDisabler())
{
    item.Editing.BeginEdit();
    item[Sitecore.FieldIDs.Created] = Sitecore.DateUtil.ToIsoDate(DateTime.Now);
    item.Editing.EndEdit();
}
