You can't.

A DataTable is not a presentation item: you don't show it to the world directly (as it isn't derived from Control). Instead you show it via a DataGridView, or A GridView, or a ComboBox or some other data-aware control.
You apply the formatting to the display control, not to the underlying data.

You can apply formatting for viewing as OriginalGriff said.

Like;

C#

this.dgv_PreviewGrid.DefaultCellStyle.Format = "D4";

Standard Numeric Format Strings

XML

<tk:DataGrid>
    <tk:DataGrid.Columns>
        <tk:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding StartDate, StringFormat=\{0:dd.MM.yy HH:mm:ss\}}" />
    </tk:DataGrid.Columns>
</tk:DataGrid>
