  You edit it and in the publish module you change the date.

  I know you aren’t scheduling a post but pictures are worth a thousand words so see the images here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/

  Unless you have a compelling reason for doing this I don’t recommend it because the datestamp is embedded into every post URL and doing this date chnage will create a broken link. Read more about it here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/08/05/avoid-creating-404-pages/
