Apart from the basic terms appropriate to the deliberate falsification or invention of information, data - lying, untruthfulness, dishonesty, and so on - you might be looking for a term more likely to be used in legal terminology.

An appropriate term in that case might be either forgery, or (wilful) perversion (of facts).

In law, generally speaking, forgery describes a falsely created, altered, or reproduced document or other source of information (including electronically-stored data), or other item (such as, for example, an ID, a postage stamp, an artwork) for deceitful or fraudulent purposes, in other Words, with intention to defraud.

There does not need to be an intention specifically to gain money for forgery to be an offense.
