Changing default date format for CSV download

[JPPearsall]

I have a web application that collects information including dates.  I can download the information in a CSV file.  The date value that is collected is stored in the cell with the mm/dd/yyyy format but is displayed as mm/dd/yy.  Is there a way to change the default way the cell value is displayed so that it is always mm/dd/yyyy ?

Here is a link to a screenshot.  Screenshot of CSV file date format (it's also in the attachment)
