Windows 10: How do I change the time and date settings?

My PC and my friend's PCs are showing us the wrong time. I am currently in Atlantic Standard Time AST right now but it is showing my Eastern Standard Time EST. I even tried to change the time in the settings but it doesn't give me access even though I am the admin of my PC.

:)

 

Date and Time Year is 3015 and can't change to 2015.
