try this

public function Controller(Posts $post){
      $post->created_at = Carbon::today();
      $post->save(['timestamps' => false]);
}

created_at is not typically mass assigned like that. You probably need to add it to the $fillable attribute on your Post model, eg:

protected $fillable = [...., 'created_at']; 

Note that as someone else pointed out, Carbon::today() does not seem like the right thing to use - it should work, but gives you a time of midnight. You probably want Carbon::now(), if you really want an accurate timestamp.
