Actually, I don’t think you can change how MySql store is date type.

Here’s a good article about it

MySQL stores dates and timestamps in one format only: YYYY-MM-DD
hh:mm:ss. This is the format recommended by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Instead what you can do is when you do a select statement is to format the date using Date_Format

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(birthDate, '%Y %m, %d') AS reg_formatted FROM yourtable

On the previous link you have all the formats possible
