The system time is inherited from the operating system.  You can use
date(1) or maybe hwclock(8) to alter the system time.  On some systems it
is not recommended to change the system time because that messes up all
kinds of scheduling, so if you can afford it, reboot and change the time
in the BIOS.  You should find information in those man pages about the
recommended way to do it on your system.
