This is far from being a Tomcat question..
But since this is Linux, check the web for the "ntpd" daemon and/or the "ntpdate" 
commands.  You may also need "hwclock".

As for getting/setting the time remotely, you need some access to the server for that.
If you have command-line access, "date" is your friend.
If not, create a Tomcat webapp using any of the multiple date/time java classes to achieve 
this.
