However you won't be able to push your changes without proper access rights.
Instead, you should create a fork of DateTime module 
(https://github.com/boostorg/date_time), modify the file in your fork 
and then create a pull request in order to merge your changes.
Here is a tutorial (for Geometry module) showing how this can be done:
