As @phils says, you can override the custom setting “Display Time String Forms”. In particular:

Go to the “Display Time” customization group and change the value of the “Display Time String Forms” setting to:

((format "%.1f%%"
   (* 100 (/ (+ (* (string-to-number 24-hours) 3600)
                (* (string-to-number minutes) 60)
                (string-to-number seconds))
             86400.0)))
)

If you want display-time-mode to display the time in this way, you should look into the display-time-string-forms variable, which will enable you to perform any arbitrary processing. I don't think any of the simpler customisations provide for this particular approach.
