Not within Nagios. It uses the localtime() C function to convert time_t
(seconds since the epoch) adjusting for the local time zone the server
is configured for.

I'll bet if you run the following script it'll show the same time
information as Nagios --

perl -e 'print scalar(localtime()) . "\n";'

If you're using linux you can change your timezone from the command line
by following these instructions --

If you're using a GUI or other OS you'll need to consult their
documentation.
