If you're using KDE4:

Open up System Settings, click on the “Regional & Language” icon and
select Country/Region & Language .  Then, click on the “Time & Dates”
tab, and change the time format from “HH:MM:SS” to “pH:MM:SS AMPM”.  
You’ll probably need to restart the desktop.

I don't know about other WM's
