It seems to me it can't be done without something from Microsoft, a patch for the Operating System. Some pages to read:

It's not mentioned in the question but you will be required to have Service Pack 3 installed.

Custom regional settings in XP usually should be disabled\removed due to EXTREME CPU useage.
If you don't need it then disabled\removed...

Otherwise:
M.S. Support

modify the regional settings of some data types...

After some thought I need to ask which version of WinXP you have, HE/Home Edition or Professional or MCE/Media Center Edition? It's possible you'll need the Pro version to get more languages support.
