I often discover that I completed something a few days ago and I would
like to mark it done with the appropriate date as though I had marked it
done in the past. That means, e.g., for a repeating event it might
repeat sooner than if it had been done today. Is there a way?

Not exactly what you want, but it might help. Some code for easy
modifying time stamps with C-left, C-right, M-left and M-right:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defvar pm/org-ctrlleft-hook nil
"Hook for functions attaching themselves to `C-left'.")
(defvar pm/org-ctrlright-hook nil
"Hook for functions attaching themselves to `C-right'.")
(defun pm/org-meta-left ()
"Decrease the date in the time stamp by one hour."
(when (org-at-timestamp-p) (org-timestamp-change -60 'minute) t))
(defun pm/org-meta-right ()
"Increase the date in the time stamp by one hour."
(when (org-at-timestamp-p) (org-timestamp-change 60 'minute) t))
(defun pm/org-ctrl-left ()
"Decrease the date in the time stamp by one day."
(when (org-at-timestamp-p) (org-timestamp-down-day) t))
(defun pm/org-ctrl-right ()
"Increase the date in the time stamp by one day."
(when (org-at-timestamp-p) (org-timestamp-up-day) t))
(defun pm/org-ctrlleft ()
"Run the functions in `pm/org-ctrlleft-hook'."
(interactive)
(run-hook-with-args-until-success 'pm/org-ctrlleft-hook))
(defun pm/org-ctrlright ()
"Run the functions in `pm/org-ctrlright-hook'."
(interactive)
(run-hook-with-args-until-success 'pm/org-ctrlright-hook))
(add-hook 'org-metaleft-hook 'pm/org-meta-left)
(add-hook 'org-metaright-hook 'pm/org-meta-right)
(add-hook 'pm/org-ctrlleft-hook 'pm/org-ctrl-left)
(add-hook 'pm/org-ctrlright-hook 'pm/org-ctrl-right)
(org-defkey org-mode-map [(control left)] 'pm/org-ctrlleft)
(org-defkey org-mode-map [(control right)] 'pm/org-ctrlright)

I often discover that I completed something a few days ago and I would
like to mark it done with the appropriate date as though I had marked it
done in the past. That means, e.g., for a repeating event it might
repeat sooner than if it had been done today. Is there a way?
I also want to to that, basically binding 'now' to a particular time in
the past and then executing a todo state change (to effect the log, and
also the next scheduled time).
I wonder if replacing the calls to get now with a function that looks at
a variable and doing
(setq now-var (now))
(do-whatever)
would be enough to get it to do what I want.

Are you looking for habits?

M-x org-todo-yesterday ?
If there is a way to do this for days further in the past, I would
welcome it! I also find myself wanting to do this often. Right now I
just mark it done, then manually adjust the log entries.
best, Erik

No, I'm alreay using habits! But if I have a habit to shave every three
days and sometime in the past two days I forgot to mark that I shaved, I
need a way to record that fact without habits letting me slide for a day
and a half past the time I should shave next.

org-todo-yesterday clearly shows how it could be done. Heh, we could
have org-todo respond to negative prefix args by shifting the date back
that many days and then prompting for state as though `C-u' had been
pressed.

Although, it should in princple, be possible to detect running in tha
agenda, and handle that automatically. I guess there are probably issues
with that.
