The date and time is in the "special" revision property, svn:date. You can modify it as so:

svn propedit svn:date --revprop -r 12345

or:

svn propset svn:date --revprop -r 12345 2009-02-12T00:44:04.921324Z

The revision (e.g. 12345 above) can also be HEAD meaning the latest revision.

The date is specified in ISO 8601 format.

You will need the repository to have the appropriate pre-revprop-change hook set up (in the hook directory in the repository) to allow svn:date to be modified. The templates that are provided with SVN repositories should be helpful.
