adding custom PHP code to Advanced recent post widget plugin

Hello,

I’m using the Advanced recent post widget for my website. In the advanced-recent-posts-widget.php file, I want to change line 154 <p class="post-date"><?php the_time("j M Y"); ?></p> to `<p>
<span class=”day”><?php the_time(‘j’); ?></span>
<span class=”month”><?php the_time(‘M’); ?></span>
<span class=”year”><?php the_time(‘Y’); ?> </span>
</p>`

I know this is easy but I want to override this without it being affected when the plugin has been updated. Hardcoding it into the main file works but it’ll be gone when it’s updated. Where can I custom override it? FYI: I’m using a child theme for my website.

If anyone can please help me, it would be awesome!
