Your owner's manual should give you this information (if it's not printed it will be on a CD included in the box). Not every camera allows you to do this.
Keep this in mind - when you "stamp" the date on the image, it's there for good. You'll have to crop the photo smaller or use a "clone tool" to smudge out the date in the future if for any reason you wish to erase that stamp. For many, it's somewhat ugly and ruins the image.
Whenever an image is taken, the time and date of the image is actually stored within the data of the photo (provided you've set the time/date on the camera properly). It's not actually visible ON the image, but it's embedded withIN the image data. When you view this image with just about any image editing program like Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, or even free ones online, then you can view the date it was taken under what is usually called a "image information" command. This way you can identify the date the shot was taken, without messing up the image by actually having it imprinted visibly ON the photo by the camera.
