Hi Jessica,
Here's an example of getting the modified property of a document:
IPortalComponentRequest request = (IPortalComponentRequest)this.getRequest();
IUser aUser = (IUser) request.getUser().getUser();
ResourceContext rContext = new ResourceContext(aUser);
RID aRid = new RID("/documemts/Public documents/example.txt");
IResourceFactory aResourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
IResource r = aResourceFactory.getResource(aRid,rContext); 
IPropertyName modifiedName = new PropertyName("http://sapportals.com/xmlns/cm","modified");
IProperty modifiedProperty = r.getProperty(modifiedName);
Date modified = modifiedProperty.getDateValue();
For more information you can check the javadoc documentation of the classes in this example.
Hope that helps,
Yoav.
