`touch` has an adjust option (`-A`), but that is sadly limited to 99 hours, 99 minutes, and 99 seconds. But repeated applications can get you what you want:
in Bash:
# assume a year is 365 days
for day in {1..365}; do
touch -A 240000 folder/*
done
# on a mac with Xcode cmdline tools installed,
# set creation time to mtime:
for f in folder/* ; do
SetFile -d "$(GetFileInfo -m $f)" $f
done
