Are you sure you're reading the ls output right?

In my /dev directory I have an entry:
	brw-rw----    1 root     disk      13,   0 Feb 23  1999 xda

The '0' here is the minor number. It has nothing to do with the date.


If you are reading the ls output correctly though, you could try
changing the date with "touch /dev/<file>".
