Answer 1

try to get idea from my another answer in [Convert Date time in “April 6th, 2012 ” format][1]

[1]: Convert Date time in "April 6th, 2012 " format here you can only change the April to Sun and 2012 to month.

Like:-

DateFormatSymbols symbols = new DateFormatSymbols();
symbols.setShortWeekdays(new String[]{"Sun","Mon"....});
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EE", symbols);

from this code you will get Days in “Sun,Mon,Tue…” Short Format

So pass this symbols in your SimpleDateFormat class.
