Then what is the problem, exactly?  If your Windows regional settings
are already set up for the UK, Dired should automatically use the date
format you set up via the regional settings.  That's because, on
Windows, Dired uses ls emulation written in Lisp (see ls-lisp.el in
the Emacs distribution), which eventually calls Windows APIs to
display the date and time.  So it should ``just work'' as you expect.

Can you please show us the details of your regional settings (in
Control Panel), and an example of Dired display?

Also, what is your value of the variable
ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program?
