I found the solution with wp_update_post().

add_action('save_post', 'change_content');
    global $post;
    global $wpdb;
    function change_content($post_id) {
	$datefield = get_post_meta($post_id,'acf-event-date',true);
	$post_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($datefield));
	$my_post = array();
	$my_post['ID'] = $post_id;
	$my_post['post_date'] = $post_date;
	
	remove_action('save_post', 'change_content');
        wp_update_post( $my_post );
	add_action('save_post', 'change_content');
}
