You can change the default format settings by adding some defines in in config/site.php

Below are the settings I usually use:

//http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/internationalization/emai...
define ('APP_TIMEZONE', 'Europe/London');
define ('DATE_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE_SET', 'Europe/London');
//http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/non-us-dat...
//http://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=146425&editmode=...
//http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/chat/date-format/#70205...
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDY', 'j-m-Y');
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDY_FULL', 'd F Y');
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDYT', 'j-m-Y \a\t H:i');
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_MDYT_FULL', 'd F Y \a\t H:i');
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_T', 'H:i');
define('DATE_APP_GENERIC_TS', 'H:i:s');
define('DATE_APP_DATE_PICKER', 'dd-mm-yy');
// Set time to 24 hour format
define('DATE_FORM_HELPER_FORMAT_HOUR', '24');


Most of C5 and addons use these constants for date-time formatting, but occasionally I come across lapses where date-time format strings are hard coded to US formats, so I would say the above works 99% of the time.
