I'd like to change the Default altFormat, but I can't seem to get it to work.
$("#myFav").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' });
$("#myFav").datepicker('option', 'dateFormat', 'yy-mm-dd');
I thought altFormat would work just the same?

Have you tried what the documentation says:
$('.selector').datepicker({ altFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' });
or
$('.selector').datepicker('option', 'altFormat', 'yy-mm-dd');
For both the dateFormat and the altFormat:
$('.selector').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', altFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' });

This changes the dateformat in my application:
$("#startdate").datepicker({dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy'});

dateFormat set the date of the input that datepicker was called on, use altFormat and altField if you want to set the value of a seperate field (a hidden field that actually get sent to database, or is shared somehow by the application)
This code worked for me:
[IN HTML]
<label for="display_date">Display/Start Date</label><br />
<input type="text" class="dateStart" name="display_date" value="" /><br />
<label for="display_date_end">End Date</label><br />
<input type="text" class="dateEnd" name="display_date_end" value="" /><br />
[IN JAVASCRIPT INCLUDE]
// set the datePicker on the start and end fields
$('input.dateStart').datepicker({dateFormat:"yy-mm-dd", changeYear: true});
$('input.dateEnd').datepicker({
dateFormat:"yy-mm-dd",
changeYear: true,
beforeShow: function(){
var value = $(this).siblings('.dateStart').val();
$(this).datepicker('option', 'minDate', value);
}
});
