You can do this in your Admin Class you need to add prePersist and preUpdate method for that. For example

public function prePersist($object)
{
    $this->changeDate($object);
}
public function preUpdate($object)
{
    $this->changeDate($object);
}

public function changeDate($object) 
{
  //Set your entity date.   
}
