lalala987 - long story short - calibre's Date and Modified columns have nothing to do with the file system's Date Created and Date Modified properties, the fact that they are similar when you first add a book is coincidental.
There is no feasible way show the file system dates within calibre itself (except via mouse hovering in a secondary window). A 'book' folder usually has several files: a cover.jpg, the metadata.opf file and one or more format files; all of which can have different values in their Date Created and Date Modified file system properties. So then the question becomes for which one of those should the file system dates be shown as columns for a given book...
The bottom line is - if you want to see the file system dates for a book press 'O' and examine what the file system manager reports them as being.
