What you're asking for is SNTP (often abbreviated as NTP). If all you
need is an app, search in the market for NTP. Most of the NTP apps
will set your device's clock (requires root).

There's an app, called "UTC Time" which displays local time and UTC
side by side. With a rooted device, it will also keep your device's
time set to whichever SNTP server you have it configured for.

If you need this for an app you're writing, let me know what you find,
as I have some ideas along that line, myself......
