No, there is no such option and it is unlikely such an option will be added as there's no built-in way to do this and it's very OS specific with "workarounds." If you need this functionality, you'll likely need to script listing your blobs and then use touch or powershell to set the dates.

Can't you set the date with:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.utime

and get the date from the blob with this?

bucket = storage_client.get_bucket(bucket_name)
    blob = bucket.get_blob(blob_name)

    print('Blob: {}'.format(blob.name))
    print('Bucket: {}'.format(blob.bucket.name))
    print('Storage class: {}'.format(blob.storage_class))
    print('ID: {}'.format(blob.id))
    print('Size: {} bytes'.format(blob.size))
    print('Updated: {}'.format(blob.updated))
    print('Generation: {}'.format(blob.generation))
    print('Metageneration: {}'.format(blob.metageneration))
    print('Etag: {}'.format(blob.etag))
    print('Owner: {}'.format(blob.owner))
    print('Component count: {}'.format(blob.component_count))
    print('Crc32c: {}'.format(blob.crc32c))
    print('md5_hash: {}'.format(blob.md5_hash))
    print('Cache-control: {}'.format(blob.cache_control))
    print('Content-type: {}'.format(blob.content_type))
    print('Content-disposition: {}'.format(blob.content_disposition))
    print('Content-encoding: {}'.format(blob.content_encoding))
    print('Content-language: {}'.format(blob.content_language))
    print('Metadata: {}'.format(blob.metadata))

I used cloudberry to sync manually and it does set the right time to file on windows.

Retrieving the LMT for a blob is not an issue. It's setting the date of the file on local storage, which is OS dependent. Your original request did not specify modified time, it asks for setting the "file date on local disk".
