Can I use Last Modified Time together with Created Time?

If I use selected-field triggers, will edits in other fields update the timestamp?

  2. When the update scope is set to Select Fields, the timestamp changes only when one of the selected fields is edited.

Why can't I edit the Last Modified Time manually?
