Do you really need to use Joda? Replacing the month names is trivial using the date formatters in the standard Java API:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("'z dnia' dd MMMM yyyy 'r.'");

DateFormatSymbols dfs = sdf.getDateFormatSymbols();

dfs.setMonths(
    new String[] {
        "stycznia", "lutego", "marca", "kwietnia", "maja", "czerwca",
        "lipca", "sierpnia", "września", "października", "listopada",
        "grudnia"   
    });

sdf.setDateFormatSymbols(dfs);

System.out.println(
   sdf.format(new GregorianCalendar(2012, Calendar.DECEMBER, 28).getTime()));
