How to update metadata of a document without changing the version number?

Hi ,

Is there a way to update the metadata of a document without changing the version number?

I tried with Listitem.Systemupdate() but using this will not update the modified and modified by feilds aswell which shouldn't be the case.

above functionality can be partially acheived using ListItem.UpdateOverwriteVersion(). but it throws exception when tries to update the published major version.

Can any one please suggest alternatives?

Thanks,
