var str = "Thu, 10 Apr 2014 09:19:08 +0000",
    months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'],
    d = new Date(str);

d.getDate() + " " + months[d.getMonth()] + " " + d.getFullYear();  //"10 Apr 2014"

The date string you have can be passed into the Date constructor to get a date object, d. The date object has various methods to that gives day, year, month, time etc. Since months are returned as an integer and we need the name, we use an array called months.

   var month = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
    var b=  d.getDate()+' '+month[d.getMonth()]+' '+d.getFullYear();
    alert(b);

You can split the string on spaces and take the second to the fourth items and join:

var d = str.split(' ').slice(1, 4).join(' ');

you can use the substring() method like this,

 var str = "Thu, 10 Apr 2014 09:19:08 +0000";
 var res = str.substring(5,15);
