Default Date won't format

I'm playing a bit and if I double click on the cell it accepts the format.
Will I have to do this to all 700 records times two columns?

I am trying to get a date column to apply a format. For example the dates
are entered as 1/22/2007 and I need them to be 01/22/2007 but when I go
into
dates and select that format it does not apply it. Does anyone know what
I
can do? These are expiration dates that we need to import into our eblast
program for membership renewals.
