Default how do i get excel to read 03/07 as March 2006 instead of 03 Jul?

i have received a spreadsheet with dates labled as text mm/yy. i was able to
convert it to a number, but when i try to add years to it, excel converts it
to dd/mm/2008 then ads the year.
for example if i want to add 2 years to 03/07, i get a result of 03 Jul 2010
instead of 1 Mar 2009.
