Date/Calendar Questions

Question

How do I go about setting the following code to be called in a single command like like SetMyDate(5, 10, 30) instead of the long code which appears in the main()
currentTaskDate = new String(days[currentDate.getCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)]+ ", " + months[currentDate.get(Calendar.MONTH)] + " " + currentDate.get(Calendar.DATE) + ", " + currentDate.get(Calendar.YEAR));

// Author: Dustin McBeth
// Estimated Time: 2 H
// Actual Time: 4 H
// Purpose: I'm trying to set a a globel date
// Steps
// X Make thingy and output date on system out commend (Done 8/7/03)
import java.util.*;                    // for table and stuff
import java.util.Date;               // for the calender
import java.util.Calendar;
public class MyDate2 {
     // Date Stuff
     static Date today = new Date();     
     static Calendar currentDate = new GregorianCalendar();
     // Setting text for date numbers
     public static String days[] = {"","Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saterday"};
     public static String months[] = {"January","February","March","April","May", "June","July","August","September","October","November", "December"};
     static String currentTaskDate;
     static void setMyDate() {
//     today.set(Year, Month, Day);
     currentTaskDate = new String(days[currentDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)]
                                   + ", " + months[currentDate.get(Calendar.MONTH)]
                                   + " " + currentDate.get(Calendar.DATE)
                                   + ", " + currentDate.get(Calendar.YEAR));
//     return this;
     public static void main(String[] args) {
     currentDate.setTime(today);
     setMyDate();
     System.out.println(currentTaskDate);
     today = new Date(5, 10, 29);
     currentDate.setTime(today);
     setMyDate();
     System.out.println(currentTaskDate);
