You can't change the type of the AuditEvent properties, but you can add custom fields to the audit event with custom actions.

For example:

Audit.Core.Configuration.AddCustomAction(ActionType.OnScopeCreated, scope =>
{
    scope.SetCustomField("StartDateTimeZone", GetCurrentDate());
});

Audit.Core.Configuration.AddCustomAction(ActionType.OnEventSaving, scope =>
{
    scope.SetCustomField("EndDateTimeZone", GetCurrentDate());
});
