Controlfile older than DBF files

Hi,

I've backed up my database when it was up and running, thus the controlfile is no longer good.
Worst, the system is performing some backup tasks during the backup. Using this copy, I need to do a restoration.

The error says that "the controlfile is older than the DBF files" So I tried to recreate a new controlfile but the next error says

        "the system01.dbf file needs media recovery."

I've even used a newer copy of the system01.dbf and tried to bluff the system, but still it is not able to open the databse. I'm dead meat !

My database has no Archivelog turned on, is there any way I can manipulate the control file? or any other files?

Desperately need help,
