fsStat class instance returns mtime, atime and ctime date objects, but there seems to be API only for changing mtime and atime (last modification and access i guess). How can i change creation time to create exact copy of file as it'd be also created the same time as original one?

It's not possible at present with Node itself, but you can use https://github.com/baileyherbert/utimes (a native add-on for Node) to change the creation time (aka btime) of a file on Windows and Mac.
