You can't change the timezone. You can't even create a date on the client and tell it what timezone it should be in - Javascript does not provide a way to do this.
If you want dates on the client to appear to be the same time of day and date as it is on the server, regardless of the client's timezone, and you are using GWT serialization, then you have two options: (1) Avoid Date objects in your DTOs, and use some encoding of your own instead (2) Modify GWT itself so that its custom serializers for java.util.Date, java.sql.Date and java.sql.Timestamp serialize the day/month/year/hour/minute separately instead of storing the time since 1970.
