I want to change the mta /time command in my format.

Try this, lets see:

function timeCommand (command) 
   cancelEvent() 
   if command == 'time' then 
   outputChatBox (FormatDate("'m/d/Y h:m"), source, 255,140,0) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerCommand", root, timeCommand)

function timeCommand (command) 
   cancelEvent() 
   if command == 'time' then 
   outputChatBox (FormatDate("'m/d/Y h:m"), source, 255,140,0) 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerCommand", root, timeCommand) 

When

cancelEvent() 

is in the first line nothing will work

This will not work it's client-side command.

Mabako's Paradise method:

-- overwrite MTA's default chat events 
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement( ), 
    function( message, type ) 
        cancelEvent( ) 
        if exports.players:isLoggedIn( source ) and not isPedDead( source ) then 
            if type == 0 then 
                localizedMessage( source, " " .. getPlayerName( source ) .. " dice: ", message, 230, 230, 230, false, 127, 127, 127 ) 
            elseif type == 1 then 
                me( source, message ) 
            elseif type == 2 then 
                faction( source, exports.factions:getPlayerFactions( source )[ 1 ], message ) 
            end 
        end 
    end
