Instead of changing the bag file time stamps, you should use simulated time. See
http://www.ros.org/wiki/Clock.

Short version:
- Before launching any nodes, set parameter /use_sim_time to True.
- Use the --clock option of rosbag play.

Then rosbag will publish the simulated time on the /clock topic. All nodes using
ROS time will use the simulated time instead of wall-clock time.

Cheers,
Patrick
