Programmatically update sharepoint 2013 "Created By", "Modified By" item fields

Can I update these fields dynamically?

SPFile file = ds.Files.Add(ds.Url + @"\" + record.Name, data, true);
file.Item["Created_x0020_By"] = "test";
file.Item[SPBuiltInFieldId.Author] = "testauthor";
file.Item[SPBuiltInFieldId.Editor] = "test editor";
file.Item.Update();

You can't update the Author and Editor using String... You need to pass as SPUser. For example u want to save current user use
SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser
If you want to save as other user please use

SPUser user = SPContext.Current.Web.EnsureUser("domain\\username"); 
file.item["Author"] = user
