In blogger all posts url addresses by default have a date assigned with year and month of post date publishing and you can't edit this date according to your need unless you delete this and publish a new post and redirect the older one to the newer as if you want to make it older or up to next date.

Things you should consider
The main work of this code is redirecting urls that contains date, year and month to a new one clear from them beside .html extension some people say this may reflect on SEO because all your blog posts addresses will be redirected to a new addressees, But I think so because we sometimes make redirects on our blog without SEO affects and this may occur when you stop using this code since your new posts will be indexed with this new url address and when you remove this code all your indexed posts will be on Page not Found (404).
Another thing that can be affected is that your posts may miss some readers because if you post on social media or shared your posts or any user shared your posts with their new url address (back links), users with browsers javascript disabled will land on 404 page - page not found unless you leave some not for them on 404 page such telling them to enable their javascript on their browsers.
