May be this is also supported as a KDevelop template variable as it gets 
replaced by the author name when the source/header file gets created but 
never again later.

There is some information at 
http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdevelop/kdevelop/applicationwizard.html#new-projects-start-templates 
which then suggests looking at another location where documentation is not 
complete.

Is there some place i can get a list of such variables?

From KDevelop template files, $MODULE$ expands to the file name and i think 
$VERSION$ expands to the version.

But like the CVS way, what i want are some dynamic variables like data and 
time of last modification and current version number. I do not use any 
version control for simple projects but would still like this information.
