You might need to replace the cmos battery to correct the problem .

SOURCE: Powershot A700 camera won't save the date and time
The date battery needs to be replaced. It is a CR1220 "button" battery. Instructions for replacing it are on page 117 of the Advanced Camera User Guide, which can be viewed/downloaded here.
SOURCE: everytime I turn the camera on the time and date
There are two batteries in the camera. One is the big one you charge and the other is a little coin type battery. This coin battery maintains your settings and when it goes your camera forgets things. Same setup on computers and a lot of other electronics. In your camera the battery is a CR1220 worth about $1-$2. It should last about 3-5 years but you never know.
The battery is in a little holder on the left hand side of the camera. Its under the same cover as the usb connector and power plug in. You should be able to pop out the battery holder fairly easily. This is one of those things that if you take the camera to a battery store they will probably do it for you if they aren't busy. If you look at page 137 of your manual you will find the instructions for doing it yourself.
SOURCE: time and date resetting constantly...
This camera has a separate date battery. Lift up the small rectangular cover next to the main batteries. A small CR1220 battery maintains the date. Replace it and you should be OK. I just discovered this on the Canon web site.
SOURCE: every time I set the date/time on my camera and
Replace the date/time battery on the side of the camera.
Be
particularly careful to keep the date batteries out of the reach of
children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a
battery since corrosive battery fluids could damage the stomach or
intestinal wall.
After purchasing the camera and turning on the power for the first
time, although the Date/Time menu will appear, you do not need to
replace the date battery.
If you ever dispose of your camera, first remove the
date battery for recycling according to the recycling system of your
country.
