sure, there is both.

cygwin or other system for compiling unix source for dos/windows , will provide
cal.exe

There are also replacements for the Windows clock/calander,
so that it provides a calaneder service 
not just a 'change the system date service' (which is prone to causing trouble
with applications , and email/news you post , for obvious reasons ! )
