You can use SimpleDateFormat#parse() to parse a String in a certain pattern into a Date.

String oldstring = "04112013";
Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyy").parse(oldstring);

Use SimpleDateFormat#format() to format a Date into a String in a certain pattern.

String newstring = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd").format(date);
System.out.println(newstring);

I hope it helps.
