Basically any decent browsers security model would prevent browser scripting from such interaction with the host OS.
There is one exception however and pretty much only applicable to Internet Explorer on Microsoft Windows. You could develop an ActiveX control OR an atl control and host it in your web page. The user would have to agree and to the automated BHO install that pops up.
Once the browser installs an ActiveX or ATL control, this control can then interact with the host OS. This is how the Windows Update service works.
p.s. this is pretty much an Internet Explorer on Windows solution.
Alternatively if the users are running windows XP then they can simply set their date time to sync to your NTP service.
