That's entirely a function of the widget itself.  Instead of hacking
up the existing widget, you'll need to create an entirely new widget.

Or, you might be interested in zc.datetimewidget, available in the
Zope Subversion repository:

    http://svn.zope.org/zc.datetimewidget/trunk/

This provides a JavaScript-based widget with a little calendar to pick
dates from.  Both date and date/time variants are provided.
