A video was sent to me from an Android phone. When I save that video to Photos it uses the meta data of the day I saved it, not the date that the video was actually taken.
Is it possible to interfere and alter the date/time of the video’s meta data so in photos it will take its correct place in order?

Isn’t it possible in OSX? I think it can be done in windows

I don't have any videos in Photos, but I'm assuming it will be the same for videos and photos, so ...

Click info (i) then double click the date/time. You should get a world map so you can see and change dates, times and timezones.

If not, I use a free program called Exiftool, but it's command-line based (so via the Terminal). There probably are GUI interfaces to it, but I've not checked. Exiftool can read/write all the EXIF and IPTC data, including times.
