You set the value of diary-date-forms (see the documentation for details).

    E> I would use Japanese/Hungarian date format:

    E>  YYYY.MM.DD.

If you want ONLY that style, set

(setq diary-date-forms '((year "." month "." day" [^/0-9]")))

This will lose the possibility of having day names, etc recognized.  For
example, the standard European value for diary-date-forms is

  '((day "/" month "[^/0-9]")
    (day "/" month "/" year "[^0-9]")
    (backup day " *" monthname "\\W+\\<\\([^*0-9]\\|\\([0-9]+[:aApP]\\)\\)")
    (day " *" monthname " *" year "[^0-9]")
    (dayname "\\W"))
