YES, indeed the following works:

$propertyMappingConfiguration = new \TYPO3\Flow\Property
\PropertyMappingConfiguration();
$propertyMappingConfiguration->setTypeConverterOption('TYPO3\Flow
\Property\TypeConverter\PersistentObjectConverter',\TYPO3\Flow\Property
\TypeConverter
\PersistentObjectConverter::CONFIGURATION_CREATION_ALLOWED,TRUE); (*)
$propertyMappingConfiguration->allowAllProperties(); (*)
$propertyMappingConfiguration->forProperty('mydate')->setTypeConverterOption('TYPO3\Flow\Property\TypeConverter\DateTimeConverter', \TYPO3\Flow\Property\TypeConverter\DateTimeConverter::CONFIGURATION_DATE_FORMAT,'d-m-Y');

Note, Flow suggested the missing lines (*), very nice!

Now, say I have a further \datetime property birthdate for the son
objects. I am able to fix the createAction above to have a
DateTimeConverter for that nested property too. 

However, I am still missing something. How do I modify the following
updateAction+initializeUpdate (which works fine for the first level) for
the nested level:

public function initializeUpdateAction() {
	  $this->arguments['father']
	    ->getPropertyMappingConfiguration()
	    ->forProperty('mydate')
	    ->setTypeConverterOption('TYPO3\Flow\Property\TypeConverter
\DateTimeConverter',\TYPO3\Flow\Property\TypeConverter
\DateTimeConverter::CONFIGURATION_DATE_FORMAT,'d-m-Y');
	  }

	public function updateAction(\...\Model\Evento $father) {
		$this->fatherRepository->update($father);
                $this->redirect(...);
	}
?

Thanks for your help
cheers
