When file is an SPFile object and oUser is an SPUser object, you can set the Created/Modified values with this approach:

file.Item["Created"] = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-30);
file.Item["Modified"] = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-30);

file.Item["Created By"] = oUser;
file.Item["Modified By"] = oUser;

file.Item.Update();

With this the names of created/modified by get updated with the name of oUser, and the modified/created dates get updated with the date of last month (30 days back).

Don't forget to update the item afterwards to save the changes.
