You can do this job in three different ways:

1. Setting PGDATESTYLE environment variable for everey client
as:
export PGDATESTYLE='sql,european' # this format is:
dd/mm/yyyy

2. Running postmaster using -oe parameter to set format
date to 'European' convention.

3. Changing the following variables:
bool EuroDates = true / false
int DateStyle =
USE_ISO_DATES
USE_POSTGRES_DATES
USE_ISO_DATES
USE_SQL_DATES
USE_GERMAN_DATES
on ~/src/backend/utils/init/globals.c file before PostgreSQL
installation).
