    I don't know if you would be able to achieve what you want with just a change of the cell format. If you have several dates that are in a column, you could use this formula
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    in a column next to it and drag it down. Then copy the new column data and Paste Special Values over the original values.
    Don't just use the answers provided for you. Try to understand how it works by reverse engineering or asking about it.

    or
