 * Try editing your theme files and replacing `<?php the_date();?>` with `<?php 
   the_modified_date();?>` and `<?php the_time();?>` with `<?php the_modified_time();?

 * I testing this on default Twenty Ten 1.1 and only in archive, attachment and 
   functions.php have something with “date”.
 * default date/time format in functions.php is:
 *     ```
       function twentyten_posted_on() {
       ...some code...
       esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
       get_the_date()
       ```
   
 * and change into:
 *     ```
       function twentyten_posted_on() {
       ...some code...
       esc_attr( get_the_modified_time() ),
       get_the_modified_date()
       ```
   
 * but with no changes on web 🙁

 * Remember to press CTRL and F5 simultaneously when viewing an updated page/site.
   Or try emptying your browser cache. This should ensure that your web browser 
   fetches a fresh copy of the page rather than serving up an out-dated copy from
   your own cache.
 * Also disable/deactivate any caching plugin(s).

 * The code changes you’ve posted should work. Have you actually updated any posts
   since you made the changes?

 * The default listing order won’t change as that’s based on the original publication
   date – not the modified date. If you wanted to modify the listing order, you’d
   need to add a [custom query](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts#Orderby_Parameters)
   to the relevant template file(s) based on the modified date.
