Default How to set the cell for date?

Thank you very much for suggestions
Some worksheet is using the date format dd/mm/yy, therefore I cannot change
the Windows Regional Options for date format into mm/dd/yy.
Do you have any other suggestions?

When I import the data from following link, its date format is mm/dd/yy
instead of dd/mm/yy, therefore, the cell will recognize 03/10/09 to be 3
Oct,
2009 instead of 10 Mar, 2009, however, the recognized error occurs on
03/17/09 for a valid date format. Does anyone have any suggestions how to
retrieve the right date format from importing following link?
