If you look at the documentation you'll see that datetime objects have a Format property that controls the display format:

>> t = datetime('now','TimeZone','local','Format','d-MMM-y HH:mm:ss Z')

t = 

  datetime

   25-May-2017 10:26:46 -0400


>> t.Format = 'yyyy-MM-dd'

t = 

  datetime

   2017-05-25

One way is to convert to datenum, then back to datestr:

newFmt = datestr(datenum(dnum4, 'dd-mmm-yyyy'), 'yyyy-mm-dd')
