Go to Settings | General, and click on Edit next to "Subversion configuration file". Then you can edit the config file.

Remember that this is a client setting, so it's only active for the specific client on which you change the config file.

Also, just to be clear on this: use-commit-times=yes makes sure you get that the files' times are set to the *last committed* timestamp. This is not the same as the time when the file was last modified by the author (last modified != last committed). If you really want the last-modified time, you'll have to wait until issue #1256 gets resolved: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1256
