You can change the date format of cell to the regional (Windows) settings this way:

1. Select the cells you want to change
2. Right-click > Format Cells…
3. Tab “Number”, choose “Date”
4. Choose a date begining with an asterisk *: *05/13/2011

More information on this SO thread: What is the best way to say format is mm/dd/yyyy – but in the local format?

[EDIT] With VBA you can do

Sub test()
    Selection.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
End Sub

m/d/yyyy represents the regional settings as described above
