Answer 1

For formatting date into a particular format, it could be done by this:

<asp:Label ID="lblPatientsBirthDate" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Patients_Birth_Date", "{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}")%>' </asp:Label>

You need to change text on repeater_ItemDataBound event.

Hope this will help you.

Answer 2

Try this:

protected void repeaterPatientList_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
    {

        Label lblbirthDate = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("lblPatientsBirthDate");
        if(lblbirthDate!= null)
        {
           DateTime d = DateTime.Parse(lblbirthDate.Text);
           lblbirthDate.Text = d.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");
        }
    }

If date conversion cause error then follow DateTime.ParseExact Method and the Custom Date and Time Format Strings
