Easy, use NSDateFormatter

Example,

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"07/30/2011" ];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd MMM"];
NSString *output = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
