Hi I don't think you can change the nature of the Created Data Field but you could add your own DataTime field to your datatype - if this date was set then you could check it in code and use it in place of a create date for your site.
what I want is a data type that can take the current date when you create the page, so you do not have to enter it yourself but you can change it if you will,
I can not find any data types that can do it, do you know of a data type can do that???
You could check for the value of the second date time datatype, if its null use the create date, if not use the other datatype. What are you trying to achieve exactly?
Created date field
The Created date field is a standard field in umbraco, is it possible to turn it into a field one can change???

I need a date on some pages to sort the pages with.
the field must not be mandatory but it is required so if there is a data type with a date picker where the field take today's date if it is empty
You could try using the standard values datatype in conjuction with the datepicker: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/standard-values-in-umbraco/bug-reports/17451-Standard-Values-for-Today-for-Date-Picker
