I finished a research paper 2 years ago, and it was related to the covid pandemic. I didn't try to publish it because my father passed away and I stopped research work for a long time. Is it possible to do backdate publication for that paper?

    Seems likely to be an XY problem question - what's the problem you're trying to solve with this solution? (echoing Azor Ahai)

No

The journal provides the date received, the date revised, and the date published. Since your paper was not received two years ago, the journal cannot say it was.
