SessionHelper.manager.setPrincipal(strModifier);
System.out.println("Current session user :- " + SessionHelper.manager.getPrincipal().getName());
//check out part
epmDocument = (EPMDocument) WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkout(epmDocument,WorkInProgressHelper.service.getCheckoutFolder(),"").getWorkingCopy();
WTUser modifer = OrganizationServicesHelper.manager.getAuthenticatedUser(strModifier);
VersionControlHelper.setIterationModifier((Iterated)epmDocument, WTPrincipalReference.newWTPrincipalReference(modifer));
//check in part
WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkin(epmDocument ,"checkedin");
So A.1 is before the change of "modified by" and A.2 is after the "modified by".
I changed the modified by using api by doing checked in+ checked out simultaneously.
Above is a snippet of the code i used:

FYI, It is possible to modify the value of any attribute including modified by using APIs without iterating the object.
In fact, if a company requests code to make changes to existing values or even add new attributes or even new links, maybe they are requesting to replace Calculated links with Content links or whatever, I always ask if they want the object iterated or not.
