"First Edit the Photo Date - For many photo management programs to work properly, you should first change the internal EXIF data which contains the date information (among other information) about the photograph:

ExifTool

Time Stamp Modifier for JPEG Files

Exifer for Windows

Then Sync the File Date to the Photo Date - You can then use the ExifTool to Sets the photos' file dates from EXIF information:

ExifTool

Note: If you don't want to set the EXIF data first, there are plenty of programs to change the creation date/time of the original file directly:

ACDSee allows you to bulk update EXIF data.
