This is what you're after:
df.global.world.entities.all

Work's consuming all of my energy at the moment; I'm going to have to pass on this turn to the next person on the list.

Here's a quick draft of one:

-- Change the age of a creature.
-- Author: Atomic Chicken

-- to do: set profession appropriately when making somebody grow up

local createUnit = reqscript('modtools/create-unit')
local utils = require 'utils'

local validArgs = utils.invert({
  'unit',
  'age'
})
local args = utils.processArgs({...}, validArgs)

if not args.age then
  qerror("Age not specified!")
end

local unit = args.unit and df.unit.find(tonumber(args.unit)) or dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit()
if not unit then
  if args.unit then
    qerror("Invalid unit ID: " .. tostring(args.unit))
  else
    qerror("You must either select the target creature prior to running this script, such as by viewing its description, or specify it via the -unit argument followed by its unit ID.")
  end
end

if unit.profession == df.profession.BABY or unit.profession == df.profession.CHILD then
  unit.profession = df.profession.STANDARD -- clear the Child/Baby profession in case we're making somebody grow up. Would be ideal to make the script set profession appropriately later on.
  local hf = df.historical_figure.find(unit.hist_figure_id)
  if hf then
    hf.profession = df.profession.STANDARD
  end
end

createUnit.setAge(unit, tonumber(args.age))
createUnit.induceBodyComputations(unit)

This was a fairly simple task as modtools/create-unit already has an age modifying function. However, I threw it together on my phone and haven't had the opportunity to test it out yet, so don't be surprised if it shoots an error at you when you try to use it. Edit: now tested. I've also omitted a -help printout for now.

To use:
- Install DFHack if you've not done so already.
- Copy-paste the above code into a text editor.
- Save it as a .lua file within the \hack\scripts folder.
- When playing, select the creature whose age you want to alter (in adventure mode, this is most easily done by viewing its description, but I've also made it possible to specify the target via its unit ID following a -unit argument as per convention) and enter [whatever it was that you named the file when saving it] as a command in the DFHack console followed by -age and your desired age in years.

Example (with the unit selected):
set-unit-age -age 10
Alternatively, you could locate a child and use bodyswap or unretire-anyone to turn them into a player character.

Here's an updated version, now embellished with a gui:

-- Create a secret-conveying slab at the cursor position.
-- Author: Atomic Chicken

--@module = true

--[====[

gui/create-secret-slab
======================
A graphical interface for creating slabs that are capable of conveying
an I_SOURCE:SECRET interaction to readers.

Place the cursor wherever you want the slab to appear and run the script.
You will then be asked to select the slab's material and quality,
to input the text that will appear on the slab
(for example, "the secrets of life and death"),
and to select the secret that it will transfer.

local dialogs = require 'gui.dialogs'
local script = require 'gui.script'
local createItem = reqscript('gui/create-item')

function createSlab(matType, matIndex, quality, slabText, engravingType, topicID)
  local slab = df.item_slabst:new()
  slab.id = df.global.item_next_id
  slab:setMaterial(matType)
  slab:setMaterialIndex(matIndex)
  slab:setQuality(quality)
  slab.engraving_type = engravingType or -1
  slab.topic = topicID or -1
  slab.description = slabText or ""
  df.global.world.items.all:insert('#', slab)
  df.global.item_next_id = df.global.item_next_id+1

  return slab
end

          local secretName = interaction.name
          if source.name ~= "" then
            secretName = secretName .. " - " .. source.name
          end
          table.insert(secrets, {text = secretName, interactionID = interaction.id, search_key = secretName:lower()})

      dfhack.items.moveToGround(slab, pos)
    end, nil, nil, true)
  end)
end
