See below. The key is using the FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS flag.

#--
# dirtest.py
from win32file import *
from pywintypes import Time
import time
x=CreateFile(r"d:\scratch\testdir",GENERIC_READ+GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_WRITE,None,OPEN_EXISTING,FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS,0)
i,c,a,w= GetFileTime(x)
print "create",c,"access",a,"write",w
SetFileTime(x,Time(int(c)-24*3600),Time(int(c)-12*3600),Time(int(c) 
-3*3600))
