Can I ask you why you would want to do that?
I agree with Votey and Brandon -- if you can, stick with the standard MySQL date format of yyyy-mm-dd. You can always pick out Year, Month, Day when you need it, in exactly the way I showed above.
You will also be able to sort, use date ranges, and other selection functions MUCH more easily if you keep the standard format.

Plus, what would prevent the storage of 2008, 06, 40 as yyyy,mm,dd. You have no internal data validation.
