  No, there's currently no setting to choose your preferred date and time format. What you can do though, is to hack your craft/app/framework/i18n/data/en\_us.php
  
  ```php
  'dateFormats' => array (
      'full' => 'EEEE, d. MMMM y',
      'long' => 'd. MMMM y',
      'medium' => 'dd.MM.y',
      'short' => 'dd.MM.yy',
  ),
  'timeFormats' => array (
      'full' => 'HH:mm:ss zzzz',
      'long' => 'HH:mm:ss z',
      'medium' => 'HH:mm:ss',
      'short' => 'HH:mm',
  ),
  
  ```
