Assuming you mean the time stored in the EXIF tags, I would be very
surprised if your scripting language of choice doesn't have a module
for reading and writing them which would allow you to read, modify
and set the tag as you want.

Failing that, a quick google produced this likely candidate:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

which seems to be in Ubuntu as libimage-exiftool-perl.

Haven't tried it myself.

Cheers,
Andy
