This question doesn't really belong on the usability list but I'll
answer it anyway.

It is possible to do but not via the clock applet GUI. Use gconf-editor,
drill down to apps>panel>applets>clock_screen0. Then, set the 'format'
key to 'custom' and enter any (strftime-compatible) date format string
in the custom_format field.

Alternatively, you may like to try MacSlow's cairo clock, GNOME
anniversary release: http://macslow.thepimp.net/?p=140 =)

HTH,
