Is there any function I can use to change a file's date/time?

It is ;) Have a look at http://at.php.net/manual/en/function.touch.php

bool touch ( string $filename [, int $time [, int $atime]] )

However, it does not really work under Windows.

That's an overstatement, In Windows you can not modify the date and time of a *folder*. It works fine on files, though.
