How to change date format in a PL/SQL block.

I want to set date format to "DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS" from PL/SQL block. I can not use following (because PL/SQL does not support ALTER statements)

    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'; I tried using following too :
dbms_session.set_nls( 'nls_date_format', '''DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS''');
 This gave me following error :
 ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception  ORA-06512: at SYS.DBMS_SESSION, line 39 If anybody has a solution please let me know.

Thanks
