I want to configure command date such that whenever I change date and time using date command the changes should get reflected in hardware clock which can be checked by hwclock command.
That is not a question but a statement. If you want to modify the functionality of a command you need to download its source and implement the new features.
I'm more of a proponent of writing a script and then using the commands for their intended purpose. Everytime I modify a binary command my use of it is highly specific as this would be, so I stopped because there's really a different, and supported way to accomplish that goal.
Further, my tendency in many cases is to remove a particular Busybox link and put in the true binary for a command, because I had found that the Busybox alternative didn't fully support options I needed/wanted to use. Grep and find are big candidates for replacement in my book. Busybox has gotten better over the years.
