Here is how it looks right now:
What I've tried here is to edit templates, on date and template on button also, and I get this code after I followed next steps:
Right click on DatePicker -> Edit Template -> Edit a copy
But I don't know where and what I should change to change an default icon and default background below date part...

Thanks guys and cheers!
The calendar icon is defined in the "MyButtonTemplateDatePicker" ControlTemplate. It's made up by a bunch of Border elements, a Rectangle and a Path.
You change the icon by modifying this template. You may for example replace the Path with your own custom one. Of course this requires you to actually define an Path that displays your custom icon.
I am following this tutorial on how to remove the watermark text from a WPF DatePicker.
After applying the workaround found here (Note that I am on Blend 2015) I am on step 4:
4. A resource has been created now. Navigate down into the XAML for the resource and find the DatePickerTextBox. Click on it – go to the top Object Menu – Edit Template – Edit a copy.
However, when I try to Edit a copy on the TextBox, the menu is greyed out:
Note that after completing step 3 I saw this error:
Which is why I applied the above workaround. Although I have no idea what implications this has - all I want to do is get rid of the watermark on the DatePicker!
Well, I can't tell you why you're having trouble copying the template. However I can give you both the templates necessary (which I copied out with Blend 2015 just fine) just follow the two comments;

I have created a simple Expression Blend 4 project with a DatePicker. I edited the template for the DatePicker, including its DatePickerTextBox, changing the watermark text from "Select a date" to "dd/mm/yyyy". The resulting XAML in Blend applies a style to the original DatePicker, and this style is stored as a resource in Window.Resources. However the editing done for the watermark text does not take effect. Any ideas? Thanks.
(Please note, i do not want to resort to code, i would like to understand how this can be achieved using Blend.). Here is the XAML for the window:

Edit:
Fixed the issue described in your comment. This style modifies the WaterMark's ControlTemplate and works as expected.

I came across this question and the answers when I needed to use a different watermark aswell. (In my case an empty watermark.) The code in the accepted answer was so long and complicated that I didn't really consider using it. The shorter answer by Jón Arnar works in some cases but in my case it doesn't. (The date picker is empty when the window is loaded. However as soon as I load a null value into a datepicker control the standard watermark appears again. This got me to take another look at the accepted answer and I shortened it so it just removes the watermark and nothing else (well...). For anyone searching like I was here is the shorter version with some explaination:

I personally use this in a user control but for a window <Window.Resources> would also work. This element is placed as child element directly after the opening tag of a UserControl or a Window. The key part is <TextBlock Text=""/>. Because I want an empty watermark, I specify an empty string.
This is the amount of code I was able to strip away. Is it possible to remove even more? Please comment if you know or edit this answer directly.
I hope this is helpful for the next person searching for the best solution.

I have customized datepicker style, but for some reason when i click on the datepicker, the calendar does not popup and does not activate the mouseup subroutine.
If I change the Button x:Name="Button" to Button x:Name="PART_Button" the calendar will popup, but the TextBlocks Content will show:"Show Calendar"

Any help will be appreciated.
If you take out named parts (i.e. controls with names that start with "PART_") then you will usually lose some functionality. In your case, the following code is in the OnApplyTemplate of the DatePicker:
this._dropDownButton = (base.GetTemplateChild("PART_Button") as Button);
if (this._dropDownButton != null)
{
this._dropDownButton.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(this.DropDownButton_Click);
this._dropDownButton.AddHandler(UIElement.MouseLeaveEvent, new MouseEventHandler(this.DropDownButton_MouseLeave), true);
if (this._dropDownButton.Content == null)
{
this._dropDownButton.Content = SR.Get("DatePicker_DropDownButtonName");
}
}
You can see that the DatePicker sets the content, if null, and registers a click handler. The latter of which opens the popup.
Now, when OnApplyTemplate is called SelectedDate is probably null, so that's why the DatePicker sets the content of the button. You would need to ensure that the SelectedDate is not null to prevent DatePicker from setting Content.
One way might be use something like {Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=SelectedDate, TargetNullValue="1/1/2011"}, but you may need to use the long syntax:
xmlns:system="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
<!-- ... -->
<Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource TemplatedParent}" Path="SelectedDate">
<Binding.TargetNullValue>
<system:DateTime>1/1/2011</system:DateTime>
</Binding.TargetNullValue>
</Binding>
I downloaded and installed the WPF Toolkit (which provides controls that could not be shipped in time with VS2008).
However, the DatePicker control does not look like its WinForms cousin.
alt text http://www.angryhacker.com/toys/datepicker.png
First, the dropdown button is not a dropdown, but a small picture of the calendar. Secondly, the calendar opens to the right on the control rather than underneath it. How can I make the control look like a normal date picker? Or should I be using something else?
You can also extract the default control template using Expression Blend, if you have it. Just create an instance of the DatePicker in a new project then select it - in the "Object" menu there should be options to edit the style and template for the control, including an option to edit a copy of the existing template.
Once you've modified the template just paste it into a resource dictionary and reference it from your xaml. I did this as I wanted to create custom templates for the DatePicker, GridView and ListBox controls.
You can download the source code from CodePlex and retrieve the current ControlTemplate from the generic.xaml. You can then copy this into your application resources and modify the control template from there.
No different than redefining the ControlTemplates of controls that shipped with .NET 3.5, they are all binary as well. I just actually did this today and sorry to include a giant blob of XAML but here is what I did to restyle the "15" button into a more "grid" calendar look. You'll either have to put this in your App.Xaml or include it as a merged dictionary.
