let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM/dd/yy, hh:mm a"
let date = dateFormatter.date(from: (dateLabel.text!))
print(dateFormatter.string(from: date!))

Based on your requirements, you first need to create a DateFormatter to parse the date string, that you are getting from the dateLabel, to a Date object:

let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "M/d/yy, h:m a"
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "in") // here place your locale identifier
let date = dateFormatter.date(from: dateLabel.text!)

and then a new DateFormatter to convert your Date object to the format that you want to print. For example:

let outputDateFormatter = DateFormatter()
outputDateFormatter.dateFormat = "M-d-yyyy, h:m a"
outputDateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "in")
print(outputDateFormatter.string(from: date!))
