Modifying attributes of a file using the filename as reference

Forgive me if this question does not fit into this site.

If it does not fit, please migrate.

First question:

Is it possible for some software to automatically change the "Creation Date" and "Modification Date" attributes of a file using the filename as a reference?

Second question:

If it is possible to do this, could anyone indicate one with this ability?

The answer is yes, but how you go about it, depends on which OS you are using (Windows and Linux use different commands).

Foe example, on Windows/Powershell:

Function Set-FileTimeStamps
{
   Param (
       [Parameter(mandatory=$true)]
       [string[]]$path,
       [datetime]$date = (Get-Date))
   Get-ChildItem -Path $path |
   ForEach-Object {
       $_.CreationTime = $date
       $_.LastAccessTime = $date
       $_.LastWriteTime = $date }
   } 
}
