For modification and/or access times, use touch(1)
For user:group ownership, use chown(1)
For file modes, use chmod(1)

To preserve user/group ownership and modification/access timestamps on
files, use cp(1) with the -p flag.  Maybe mc doesn't do that correctly
on copying, though it should for a move, assuming that it uses mv(1)
