How to update the default datatype of the field from text to date?

I am using AWS IoT CORE and transferring the data to Elastics search service. Then i am creating the Index pattern in the Kibana.
My IoT device gives the date in standard UTC format "2018-07-01 01:01:01:44567" OR "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss:SSS"

field : "event_ts7" by default is loaded as string. Can you please help me with updating the default data type to date from string ?? I Need the field to be date.
