Changing date format

Hello!
I noticed that date format is wrong while using Gnumeric.
"locale" command gave me the output that "LC_TIME="en.US.UTF-8". I want it to be Turkish date format.
How can I change date format to Turkish in whole system?
System: Lubuntu 11.10.
Regards

I'm not sure what you want to do. If you want to change your system time and time zone it can be done from
System Tools->Time and Date.

In Gnumeric you can define and use your own date format (Menu Format).
It, of course, don't change date format in whole system by this way.

Time & Date in some installs is in
Preferences. Time and Date in the panel can be changed by right clicking and choosing
"Digital Clock" Settings. Some of the code is
%a week-day [Friday]
%b month [Sept]
%d day [02]
%I:%M:%S time [4:06:59]
Other code can be obtained by putting
in the terminal.

Thank you for your replies. I will try to explain my problem better.
I need to change the date (and also number and currency) format of my system's locale.
Let me give some examples:
In US date format it is month/day/year
I want it to be day/month/year
In US locale, separator for decimals is "." : 56.40
I want it to be ",": 56,40

I think what you want can be found in Preferences->Language Support->Regional Formats.
Make your change and reboot. The changes will take effect after the reboot.
