Yes, there are some solutions, here is one from DMY to YMD.  
From "24.04.2008" to "2008.04.24" with  
$regexp(%\_date%,(\d\d).(\d\d).(\d\d\d\d),$3.$2.$1)

Here is another one from MDY to YMD.  
From "04.24.2008" to "2008.04.24" with  
$regexp(%\_date%,(\d\d).(\d\d).(\d\d\d\d),$3.$1.$2)

**Better set the Date Time configuration of your computer system accordingly to ISO 8601** in order to use always the international standard format for dates YYYY-MM-DD.
