Hope this helps

When you create your workflow rule, you will need to choose the option to fire when record created or any edit, and for your criteria use a formula and have your formula such as the following:

AND(
!IsNew(),
 PRIORVALUE( Checkbox Field API Name) = True,
Checkbox Field API Name= FALSE)

Then have your workflow acton as a field update and update your date field using a formula and set the folrmula for the field update to TODAY() if your field is of date type or use NOW() if your field is date/time type

Hope this helps, if so please click th ebest answer!
