You can't.
There is no way to prevent the system date or time being modified: it can be changed in the BIOS settings of the PC hardware before the operating system is even loaded.

If you want an "unbreakable" time limited demo, them you have to have your app "get permission to run" from a website wing maintains the time and licence details.

But don't spend too much time on this: work out how many copies you will sell, work out how many sales you will not get as a result of piracy, and compare that against you time cost to implement security. It doesn't take much for you to lose more money by preventing piracy than you would have done without any security! And if your methods annoy one legitimate user enough to return the product, that's a user lost for life with the direct and indirect costs that involves.
