Thank you both very much. It hadn't occurred to me that the dock could 
possibly care about creator and type because I thought Apple was moving 
away from relying on those. I have licenses for two different shareware 
programs that will fix this (XRay and FileBuddy), but very much 
appreciate the other suggestions -- including the Python code--  to make 
this change.

Presumably I can use similar Python code to get to the file creator (a 
question I raised earlier but the topic got diverted before I ever got 
an answer as to how to get and set that date).
