Default Date Format

I'm working on a data file that has the date input in the wrong format. In the date column, it shows "13-Jan". The original format intention for this text is supposed to be "yy-mm", or January 2013, but excel is automatically reading it as "01/13/2012", and the format is set as "dd-mm". How do I change the format or text so it reads the original text correctly as "yy/mm" or "yyyy/mm" as opposed to "dd-mm" or "mm/dd/yyyy"?
