Use below method which is used to change the format of the NSDate..

-(NSString *)changeDateFormat:(NSString*)stringDate dateFormat:(NSString*)dateFormat getwithFormat:(NSString *)getwithFormat{


    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:dateFormat];

    NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:stringDate];

    dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:getwithFormat];

    NSString *convertedString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
    NSLog(@"Converted String : %@",convertedString);
    return convertedString;
}

Call above method with its 3 parameters..

1. stringDate : Pass your date which in string type.

2. dateFormat : set format which is used in your passed string date. For example, if your string date is "14-03-2013 11:22 am" then set the format to @"dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm a".

3. getwithFormat : Set format which you want, as if you want date 14/03/2013 then just set format @"dd/MM/yyyy".

How to call this see below example with method:

NSString *strSDate = [self changeDateFormat:@"14-03-2013 11:22 am" dateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm a" getwithFormat:@"dd/MM/yyyy"];
NSLog(@"\n\n Now Date => %@",strSDate);

Output is : Now Date => 14/03/2013

hope its helpful to you...
