If you want it to be something like a date then you can make your own date formatter like this:

NSDateFormatter *formatter;
NSString        *dateString;

formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm"]; //or something in your own style

dateString = [formatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];

[formatter release];  // maybe; you might want to keep the formatter 
                      // if you're doing this a lot.
