No, you can't change it.

yWhen you create a new Meeting the default is to show time as Busy, but an
all day event shows as free by default. Can this default behavior be
changed?
90% of our all day events are out of office, with traveling resources like
digital cameras and laptops. When a user forgets to change the show time
setting, the resources show up as available. I would rather default to Out
of
Office, and if someone shows up as Out of Office on their spouses
birthday,
then so be it. A little training will go a long way, but changing the
default
behavior would be nice.

Thanks,
Gordon
