Blueyben, What you describe is a general Java time conversion problem, not a Lucene related one.
You will need to do a search on "Java time format" which should bring you amongst other links to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html. You might also be interested for time formatting to look into http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/.
