Well, the answer for the 12/24 hour clock is simple: there's a
button to tap that switches between AM and PM when you are
setting the time. Extend that to AM/PM/24 and it's in the right
place and not taking up any more space.

For decimal and date separators and formats, one probably needs
a separate control. Nevertheless, it's easy to show it simply:

Format: $1,234.56 2007/12/31

Then a tap on each part brings up the available choices.
