No, if you want to change it you'd have to edit the source.  Note that the
current date format matches RFC 3164, so if you change it, you risk breaking
any parsing program that tries to read the logfiles, and if you forward
those messages to another machine, they won't recognise your timestamp and
will probably add another timestamp to the line.
