the timezone is set by the ZONE variable in /etc/sysconfig/clock,
so you could modify that one. But be sure it's a legal entry,
see e.g. /usr/share/zoneinfo.

Within a shell i believe you can modify the TZ environment variable.
Also try
	man tzfile
	man tzselect
	man tzset

if you do

	apropos TZ

you'll find all man pages that relate to TZ.
