    you want to change the systemtime?

    then you need to use timedatectl.

    for example:

    sudo timedatectl set-time "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"

    you can check if it worked by

    timedatectl

    you don’t seem to be setting in values, rather you’re passing in the format

    perhaps try this solution:

    sudo date --set="2015-09-30 10:05:59.990"
