I use a function like that here:
https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/techela/techela-grade.el#L182

and to set the filetag as you suggest you would call it like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(gb-set-filetag "DATE" (format-time-string "%b %d %Y, %a" (current-time)))
#+END_SRC

You could put that in some hook function if you like.
