Default Date format problems after csv import

Dear all Excel expert,
I am facing 2 date problems after importing from a sql database via .csv.
This field is a date + time field. Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Problem 1:
Even during import, I select field as D/M/Y, but the date is imported in
Excel date format(Custom m/d/yyyy hh:mm). eg. 4/1/2010 11:58 has become 1st
April. How can I convert this to the correct date which is actually 4th Jan?
I would like the result to be in Excel date format to be mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm

Problem 2:
For any dates that are 12, the value is exported as text
'29/01/2010 9:28
How can I convert this to the same format as Problem 1?, ie. Excel date
format to be mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm

regards,
