You can monkey-patch QDate:

QtCore.QDate.currentDate = lambda: QtCore.QDate(2012, 1, 1)

Which might lead to inconsistencies somewhere else.

Working example:

Python 3.3.2+ (default, Oct  9 2013, 14:50:09) 
[GCC 4.8.1] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from PyQt4 import QtCore
>>> QtCore.QDate.currentDate()
PyQt4.QtCore.QDate(2014, 3, 3)
>>> QtCore.QDate.currentDate = lambda: QtCore.QDate(2012, 1, 1)
>>> QtCore.QDate.currentDate()
PyQt4.QtCore.QDate(2012, 1, 1)
>>>

For python2.7:

class PatchedQDate (QtCore.QDate):
    @classmethod
    def currentDate (cls):
        return QtCore.QDate (2012, 1, 1)

QtCore.QDate = PatchedQDate
