The only way to update them is to call their methods that change their 
values.  Dates and Calendars do not especially represent the current 
moment in time, and they do not update themselves.  The default value 
for Date and Calendar objects is the current time.

If you want the current time, you can use the value returned from  
System.currentTimeMillis() to set it.  You could also just construct a 
new Date or Calendar object.
