timestamp - What is the accuracy of file creation or modification dates?

Due to some court cases in my jurisdiction, I often see court-appointed experts determining the creation date of a document. Is it really possible to do this via software methods? How could one prove a creation date if a fake date was used before the document was created?


I know this part doesn't belong to superuser but anyhow I was also curious if any hardware methodology would work (to any precision - day/month/year).
