I agree with Mke O'Donnel regarding the date change. May I suggest a possibly better approach, and that be to set up an ntp daemon (usually xntp). This would require that the system is connected to the Internet.
In addition to sudo, if you want a user to be able to change the system date from within an application, you can use the system(3) function, and use sudo to execute the date command. Or, you could set the application as a setuid application and call the appropriate system calls.
