Display last modified date instead of publish date on posts

    Ok so I have been looking through the internet for hours and cant seem to find a way to do this. Basically my posts display the date it was published on. I want that date to update and reflect the date it was last modified rather then the day it was published. I update my posts frequently but it seems the only want to change the date reflected on the post is by altering the publish date every time. Now i know that changing this may require altering the theme I am using which is fine I just cant seem to figure out how. It looks like there are alot of site that give a code line like

    ( ` <?php the_modified_time(‘jS F Y’) ?> )

    but this looks like code that will just populate it. I want to change the fact that the publish date shows at all and only shows modified date. An example page that I am refering to can be found at http://www.ecigsavings.com/eluma-electronic-cigarettes/ which in that grey box in the top left thats where i want the last modified date to show.
    Can anyone help? I will put this in support cause i dont know if this actually is a theme or css thing or what not i just know i need support :) lol

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
