Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a custom content type named Representation with a date field named reprDate. I want the standard post created and updated date of the post to be always the same as my custom field.

Otherwise, what is the code to retrieve the value of this field and include it in my theme

If you just need to know how to retrieve and display the value of your custom date field using PHP (in some theme template) then there is no need to synchronize the standard date fields with it.

You can see how to output a Types field with PHP here: https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/

That page includes specific information about the date field with an example of how to render such a field.
