Answer 1

NSString *dateString = @"Feb 23, 2014";

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMM dd, yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM-dd-yyyy"];
NSString *newDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
