This one is easy.

Start KDE. Right click on the clock at your bottom-right corner. Select the 
option "Adjust time".
Enter root password when prompted. Change the time. Click on 'Apply', 'OK'.

Is it that difficult? Think: Mandrake is easy.

If you want to do it through command line:

man date



Salut,
Sinner
