Creasey will be helped by Setchell's former assistants Ross McNeil and Daz Edey for Saturday's Ridgeons Premier home game against Kirkley & Pakefield.
Boston-based Creasey ruled out succeeding Setchell on a permanent basis.
"Wisbech is a fantastic club and I had a great time there when I was manager but I work for myself and don't have time to do the job permanently," he said. "I'm happy to help the club out until they find a manager, whether that be for a few weeks or until the end of the season. Setch did a superb job and hopefully we can continue the good work that he has done. It seems he received an offer he couldn't refuse to manage his hometown club and I wish him the best of luck.
