Locate and edit the appropriate PHP string in your index.php, home.php, or single.php template. Rather than displaying the date as March 16, 2006 you can display the date as 16Mar06.

<?php the_time('dMy') ?>

Insert the above string wherever you wish. Feel free to wrap the function within <span> tags to assign a class and style with CSS. WordPress is PHP so the PHP handbook pertaining to formating date and time will be a worthwhile bookmark.
