The FileInfo class can take care of this for you.

[TestMethod]
public void SetLastAccessTime()
{
    String fileName = @"D:\Sample.txt";

    FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(fileName);
    fi.CreationTime = DateTime.Now.AddDays(10);
    fi.LastWriteTime = DateTime.Now.AddDays(10);
    fi.LastAccessTime = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-2);
}

And, this is what the file properties looks like after this code has run.

After a small search I found this in File.SetLastAccessTime Method

Haven't used it myself but according to MSDN you can set the Access time with this: 

File.SetLastAccessTime
