Answer
Hi Jason,

Yes. When you save a file to your computer as a new file (in this case, she saved the chat log as a new file onto her computer), the file will show the date that it was created on the computer, and not the date that the log was actually made. So chances are if she is saying it's an old log that she saved on the computer, she's not lying. The computer will only keep the original date if you cut & paste file from one source to another or if you move it (example, from computer #1 to  computer #2). However, when simply creating a new file, the new file will assume the new date that it was created. So, to make a long story short, yes it is possible that the chat logs date was changed according to the date that she saved it onto her computer.
