As a workaround, for org files, you can change 
the *format* of the date having the 
*appearance* of the English date.

Please have a look at the variable 
org-time-stamp-custom-formats

C-h v org-time-stamp-custom-formats

In a file I have: 

#Local Variables:
#org-time-stamp-custom-formats : ("<%d/%m/%Y>" . "<%d/%m/%Y %a %H:%M>")
#End:

[2009-09-02 mer] becomes  [02/09/2009]

Nice, but  you can only change the date day by day and the format 
will *not* be exported.

Or [beware, untested!] you could change 
the format-time string variable in your .emacs.

cheers,
Giovanni
