This is about as brain damaged a policy as the whole "we delete email after a year" policy but at least I understand the lawyers' rationale on that one.
Pretty sure you can use something like robocopy to duplicate the files but with new created/modified/accessed dates.
Also keep a recent zip archive of the old files around and periodically expand, copy, and rezip into a new archive.
Agree with others here, though, these are workarounds to a policy that at least should have exception and would be best reconsidered as creation date is a poor indicator of file utility.
