    If you mean while it is booted into linux then yes.. to manualy set the date/time you use the "date" command, check "man date" for info. It is possible to automaticaly update the system clock with "ntp"

    http://www.ntp.org/

    But unless you really need very acurate time settings then I would just set it manualy

    Or if you're really anal about your time being accurate.
