Application for change in date of birth is entertained only if
1) The entries in the date of birth column have been erroneously made by the origional Passport Issuing Authority at the time of issue; or
2) Where the holder of the passport discovers at a later date that the information submitted by him is incorrect.
Application for correction in date of birth in the passport can be entertained when it is accompanied by a Court Order issued by a judicial officer not below the rank of First Class Magistrate in India.
Process for the issue of a new passport booklet is to be followed.

Technically, you have to obtain new passport. The date can not be corrected in the old passport.

Applications for a change in date or place of birth are not entertained unless:
Accompanied by a civil order from a competent court of jurisdiction, or
The entry is incorrect due to an error/mistake by the passport issuing authority at the time of issue of passport, or
A competent authority issues an amendment or correction in the date and place of birth (the competent authority issuing the amending order should be the same authority whose certification was submitted at the time of first issue of passport such as Municipal authorities in the case of birth certificate or Educational board in the case of school certificates).
