You can not change the internal format of the dates.

If they are columns of Dates in an ODF spreadsheet they do not need to be
changed--actually can not be changed--rather you just need to change their
display format. Select the column, the Format -> Cells  and in the dialog
select Date and a format you need. The YYYY-MM-DD is predefined. Or you can
add a format code to use an alternate separator.

If the file is CSV, set it as date during import and set the display format
needed.
