Default Formatting a cell

i am assuming u have this formulla

=IF(A1<Today(), "0", Today())

if not use it, and dont forget the " " before and after 0

then format the cell as custom:
go to format window, choose custom, type dd/mm/yyyy
or whatever date format you like. but dont choose format as date.
